    U.S. Marine Corps Capt. Evan Marod, a field artillery officer with 2nd Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company, II Marine Expeditionary Force Information Group, conducts a range safety brief before a biathlon in Bardufoss, Norway, Feb. 23, 2026. The training event, part of exercise Cold Response 26, required Marines and Sailors to navigate a 500-meter ski course and engage targets in a live-fire range. A key component of NATO's enhanced vigilance activity Arctic Sentry, exercise Cold Response 26 is a Norwegian-led winter military exercise designed to enhance collective defense capabilities and ensure U.S. readiness to rapidly deploy and seamlessly operate alongside NATO Allies in challenging arctic conditions. Marod is a native of Washington. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Alexis French)
