U.S. Marines prepare prepositioned motor transport equipment at a Marine Corps Prepositioning Program Norway cave site in January 2026 in Norway ahead of convoy operations supporting Cold Response 26. The preparation supports safe, coordinated movement and timely employment of equipment issued to II Marine Expeditionary Force Marines.
Blount Island Command is managing logistics for the Marine Corps Prepositioning Program Norway cave draw in support of Exercise Cold Response 26, ensuring the timely transfer of prepositioned equipment and supplies to II Marine Expeditionary Force Marines. As part of the exercise, equipment is issued from cave sites at Tromsdal, Bjugn and Frigard to support cold weather operations and rapid deployment. Cold Response 26 enhances readiness, reinforces regional security, and strengthens Norway’s defense and NATO deterrence capabilities through multinational interoperability.
