    U.S. Marine Corps Lt. Col. David Palacio, the fires officer for U.S. Marine Corps Forces, Europe and Africa, evaluates terrain for future capability placement on Jan Mayen Island, Norway, Aug. 29, 2026. The assessment, conducted during Operation Atlantic City 26, enhanced combined operational readiness and rapid-response posture, ensuring NATO can quickly integrate critical assets across remote and austere terrain in the High North. Atlantic City 26 is a Norwegian-led trilateral readiness initiative with the United Kingdom and United States, designed to develop and demonstrate expeditionary advanced base capabilities and validate combined fires, maritime domain awareness, and sea denial to reinforce the security and stability of the High North. Jan Mayen is sovereign Norwegian territory in an isolated part of the Norwegian Sea, approximately 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) from mainland Norway. At the same time, the island occupies an important geostrategic position north of the Greenland-Iceland-U.K. gap, an area of water strategically significant to the defense of the U.S. homeland and northern Europe.

    A U.S. Marine in MARPAT digital camouflage uniform holds a printed map or document while standing in a volcanic landscape with black terrain and moss-covered hills in the background. The individual appears to be conducting terrain reconnaissance or a briefing outdoors. The setting suggests a northern or subarctic environment, possibly Iceland or a similar volcanic region.
    Two military personnel in different camouflage uniforms are engaged in conversation on a black volcanic terrain, with a moss-covered volcanic cone visible in the background. The individual on the left wears a distinctive woodland camouflage pattern with a shoulder patch featuring blue and yellow colors, while the individual on the right wears a MARPAT (US Marine Corps digital) camouflage uniform. Both are holding white documents or papers.
    Two military personnel are engaged in what appears to be a briefing or reconnaissance discussion outdoors on dark volcanic terrain under an overcast sky. A U.S. Marine, identified by name tape as 'PALACIO' and wearing MARPAT digital camouflage, is pointing and gesturing while holding what appears to be a map or document. The second individual wears a Norwegian Armed Forces uniform, identifiable by the Norwegian flag patch and a blue/yellow shoulder insignia.
    Two military personnel in different camouflage uniforms are engaged in a briefing or planning discussion outdoors. The individual on the left wears U.S. Marines digital camouflage (MARPAT) with a name tape reading 'PALACIO' and 'U.S. MARINES', while the individual on the right wears a woodland camouflage uniform with a circular patch and holds what appears to be a map or document. They appear to be conducting a joint military coordination activity near a military vehicle.
    A U.S. Marine officer, identified by name tape as 'Palacio' and wearing the rank of Lieutenant Colonel (silver oak leaf), is reviewing a document or map with a Norwegian military personnel wearing a jacket bearing the Norwegian flag patch. The interaction appears to be a briefing or coordination meeting in an outdoor coastal or arctic environment. The setting suggests a multinational military exercise or operation.
    Two military personnel in camouflage uniforms stand on a rocky, moss-covered highland terrain, with one individual pointing into the distance while holding rolled documents. A third person is visible in the background. The setting appears to be a rugged volcanic or mountainous landscape under overcast skies.
    Four individuals are walking along a dark volcanic beach with dramatic mountainous terrain in the background. Two appear to be in military uniforms — one in US Marine Corps MARPAT camouflage and one in what appears to be Norwegian Armed Forces camouflage — while the other two wear civilian outdoor gear. The rightmost person is gesturing and appears to be briefing or directing the group.
    Three military personnel in camouflage uniforms are crouched on the ground examining a map or document outdoors. They are positioned in front of a red wooden building with a metal roof, set against a rugged, overcast landscape with green hills. The scene suggests a field planning or navigation exercise in a remote, likely Nordic or Arctic environment.
    A gloved hand points to a location on a topographic map. The glove appears to be a tan/olive-colored tactical or work glove with leather reinforcement on the fingertips and palm. The image is a close-up shot with shallow depth of field, keeping the pointing finger and map in focus.
    Three military personnel in different camouflage uniforms are crouched on sparse, mossy ground examining a map or document together. One individual wears US Marine Corps MARPAT digital camouflage, while the other two wear what appears to be Norwegian Armed Forces M98 camouflage pattern. They are positioned in front of a traditional red Scandinavian-style building in an overcast, cold-weather environment.
