U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Johnathan Mendoza, an intelligence specialist with Headquarters Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, uses ski poles to exit icy water during an ice-breaker drill in Setermoen, Norway, March 20, 2026. The drill teaches Marines how to survive and regain composure after falling through ice, an essential Arctic survival skill learned during exercise Cold Response 26. 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.
