U.S. Army 1st Lt. Sean Walters, battalion physician's assistant assigned to 1st Battalion, 6th Field Artillery Regiment, 41st Field Artillery Brigade, leads a rappelling and casualty extraction course for U.S. Army and Norwegian Army medics during Exercise Joint Viking 25 at Setermoen Training Area, Norway, Feb. 27, 2025. The training covered how to safely set up and secure climbing harnesses, rappel down steep terrain, and extract a casualty up a vertical rock face with a block and tackle pulley system.
As a multilateral exercise in Norway, Joint Viking 25's goal is to strengthen the U.S. Army's ability to operate with Arctic Allies and rapidly respond to a crisis in Arctic terrain. The exercise involved U.S. Soldiers, Marines and personnel from Norway, the Netherlands, Finland, Germany, Denmark, and Great Britain, focusing on cold weather skills and cooperation with Allied forces.
