U.S. Marine Corps Master Sgt. Derrick Vess, from Hawaii, an explosive ordnance disposal technician with Marine Wing Support Squadron (MWSS) 271, uses a pickaxe to aid in creating controlled craters as part of base recovery after attack training during Northern Viking 24 (NV24) on Keflavik Air Base, Iceland, Aug. 27, 2024. MWSS-271 took part in the exercise to maintain warfighting mentality and readiness to execute the six functions of aviation ground support and enable 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing to be forward deployed engaging anytime, anywhere, and at a moments notice. NV24 strengthens interoperability and force readiness between the U.S., Iceland and Allied nations, enabling multi-domain command and control of joint and coalition forces in the defense of Iceland and sea lines of communication in the Greenland, Iceland, United Kingdom (GIUK) gap.
