    Soldiers with the Norwegian Home Guard stand watch as U.S. Marines displace communications equipment on Jan Mayen Island, Norway, Aug. 30, 2026. The displacement, 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 the 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.

    Four military personnel in MARPAT (Marine pattern) camouflage uniforms are gathered around the rear of a military tactical vehicle with an olive-drab canvas cover. Three soldiers are actively working at or looking into the back of the vehicle while a fourth observes from a short distance. The terrain appears dark and volcanic, suggesting a cold-weather training environment.
    A group of military personnel in camouflage uniforms are gathered between two olive-green tactical military vehicles, identified as Joint Light Tactical Vehicles (JLTVs), in a rugged volcanic or rocky terrain. The landscape features dramatic multi-colored geological formations with dark basaltic rock, red iron-rich soil, and lighter sedimentary layers in the background. The overcast sky and barren terrain suggest a remote, possibly arctic or volcanic environment.

He wears a Norwegian flag patch and an 'ARCHERY' unit patch, equipped with tactical vest, helmet with night-vision mount, communications headset, and a radio. Two additional soldiers are visible out of focus in the background.
    A military service member in camouflage uniform is assembling or adjusting a multi-element antenna system mounted on what appears to be a military vehicle. The individual is wearing cold-weather gear including a tan beanie and face covering, along with tactical gloves. The setting appears to be an outdoor field environment with overcast skies.
    A military service member in MARPAT camouflage and balaclava is positioned on top of an Oshkosh JLTV (Joint Light Tactical Vehicle) painted in olive drab, handling what appears to be a communications or antenna array. The vehicle is parked on rugged terrain with a steep hillside visible in the background. At least one additional service member is visible to the right rear of the vehicle.
    Military personnel are operating in a remote volcanic highland terrain, likely in Iceland based on the distinctive moss-covered lava fields and characteristic landscape. A green canvas-covered military truck is positioned on dark volcanic soil, with several soldiers working around it alongside deployed solar panels. The scene suggests a field operations setup or forward operating base being established in an austere environment.
    A military-style green cargo truck is parked on dark volcanic terrain at the base of a steep, moss-covered mountain ridge. The landscape features striking yellow-green moss contrasting with black volcanic rock, consistent with Icelandic highland terrain. At least one person is visible standing near the vehicle, and low-lying fog obscures the upper portion of the mountain.
