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.
