After spending three nights at base camps near Haltdalen, Norway, members of the NOREX 53 staff platoon 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)
