HALTDALEN, Norway – Minnesota National Guardsmen participate in basic winter warfare training Feb. 7, 2025, at Haltdalen, Norway. After spending their first day travelling to Norway, meeting their Norwegian Home Guard counterparts, and being issued Norwegian winter warfare gear, the Minnesota National Guardsmen jumped right into training with learning how to use skis and a pulka while navigating basic terrain features around the base.
The guardsmen are participating in the Reciprocal Norwegian Exchange, commonly referred to as NOREX, a partnership program whereby approximately 100 Minnesota National Guardsmen and 100 Norwegian Home Guardsmen visit the opposite country to train and exchange cultural understandings. This is the 52nd year the two nations have participated in the NOREX and is one of the longest running state partnership programs in the world.
