Minnesota National Guard participants from NOREX53 try their hand at a variety of Viking activities at Stiklestad National Cultural Center, Norway, Feb. 17, 2026. The medieval farm, Stiklastadir, provided opportunities for Airmen and Soldiers to learn about and participate in events as they may have occurred 1,000 years ago. Service members are part of the 53rd Norwegian Reciprocal Troop Exchange (NOREX) which began in 1973 and remains the longest-running military exchange between the United States and a foreign nation.
