    Pfc. Austin Carr, a Fredericksburg, Va.,native and machine gunner with Weapons Company, 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division provides security on the beach during an amphibious raid rehearsal March 17, 2014. Marines from 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division and Norwegian soldiers spent two days spent aboard the HNLS Rotterdam to train with Dutch sailors and marines for the amphibious raid during Cold Response 14, a multinational and multilateral training exercise featuring various types of military training including maritime, land and air operations. The location, above the Arctic Circle in northern Norway, provides a unique cold-weather environment for all forces involved to learn and develop procedures from an international contingent of allies.

    A group of military personnel in white winter camouflage uniforms are climbing a snow-covered hillside in a cold, arctic-like environment. They are carrying rifles and large tactical backpacks, moving in a column formation along a fence line. The background reveals a frozen or partially frozen body of water, snow-covered mountains, and what appears to be a small port or industrial area.
    A military amphibious landing operation is underway in a cold, snow-covered environment, likely Scandinavia or northern Norway based on the terrain and architecture. Wheeled armored personnel carriers are disembarking from a landing craft onto a shoreline. Multiple soldiers in winter combat gear are visible on and around the vehicles and vessel.
    Military personnel in winter camouflage uniforms are disembarking from a combat landing craft onto a shoreline in what appears to be a cold-weather environment. The vessel, marked with partial identifier 'L957B' or similar, is beached on a rocky shore with snow-covered mountains and a fjord visible in the background. The setting and terrain strongly suggest a Nordic or Arctic region, consistent with a military exercise.
    Military personnel in white winter camouflage uniforms are conducting an amphibious landing exercise from a combat vessel onto a snow-covered shoreline. Soldiers are disembarking and taking up defensive kneeling positions with weapons raised. The operation appears to take place in a cold-weather fjord or coastal environment with snow-covered hills in the background.
    Multiple military personnel in white winter camouflage uniforms are conducting what appears to be a tactical training exercise in a cold, snowy environment. They are positioned in crouching stances along a concrete surface beside a corrugated metal building, holding assault rifles in ready positions. The scene suggests a cold-weather urban warfare or military exercise drill.

    A military amphibious landing exercise is underway in a snow-covered coastal environment, likely in a Nordic or Arctic region. Multiple wheeled armored vehicles, including what appear to be LAV-25 or similar light armored vehicles, are staged on a snowy shoreline with landing craft visible in the background on a fjord. Personnel in winter camouflage are visible near the vehicles.
    A green 8-wheeled Light Armored Vehicle (LAV-25) is positioned near a red Scandinavian-style barn building beside a fjord in what appears to be a winter military exercise. At least two crew members are visible in the vehicle, one in the driver's hatch and one in the turret. The snowy, mountainous fjord landscape and red wooden architecture suggest a Nordic location, consistent with a NATO exercise in Norway.
