    Two military personnel in camouflage uniforms are standing beside a large green military vehicle, identified as an M142 HIMARS (High Mobility Artillery Rocket System) or similar rocket artillery launcher, positioned on dark volcanic terrain. The landscape features moss-covered lava fields with a coastal shoreline visible in the background under an overcast sky. Small structures, including a red building, are visible in the mid-distance.

    U.S. Marines with 1st Battalion, 10th Marine Regiment, operate an Australian Strike Master Coastal Defense System during Operation Atlantic City 26 on Jan Mayen, Norway, Aug 30, 2026.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 and is situated 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.
