After spending three nights at base camps near Haltdalen, Norway, members of NOREX 53 complete the ski march up the mountain on Feb. 9, 2026. Over the previous 4 days, members of the 53rd Norwegian Reciprocal Troop Exchange adjusted from surviving to thriving while living in a Arctic environment. NOREX began in 1973 and remains the longest-running military exchange between the United States and a foreign nation. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Master Sgt. Megan Shaner)
