The Norwegian firearms instructor attaches a marksmanship pin on a Minnesota National Guard soldier’s uniform at the NOREX53 farewell banquet, Værnes Garrison, Norway, Feb. 17, 2026. The marksmanship pin was earned by the soldier during the enhanced winter warfare training held earlier that week in Leksdal, Norway. The banquet marked the successful completion 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.
