U.S. Marine Corps 1st Lt. Joel Murcek, a fire support coordinator with Fire Support Battalion, 10th Marine Regiment, guides a Joint Light Tactical Vehicle on Jan Mayen, Norway, Aug. 29, 2026, during Operation Atlantic City 26. The operation 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.
