    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.

    U.S. Marine Corps Lt. Col. David Palacio, the fires officer for U.S. Marine Corps Forces, Europe and Africa, right, and Norwegian Army Maj. Ane Manheim, fires officer with Norwegian National Joint Headquarters J3-5, evaluate 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.
