A U.K. Royal Air Force airman provides hand signals to the pilot of an A400M Atlas C.1 aircraft before takeoff from Jan Mayen, Norway, Aug. 29, 2026, during Operation Atlantic City 26. The ground and air crew coordination was critical to ensuring the rapid and safe turnaround of strategic airlift assets in austere environments, demonstrating the agility and logistical prowess of NATO 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.
