    U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Thomas Burkhardt, a radio operator with Fires Support Battalion, 10th Marine Regiment, sets up communications with U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Chris Stauder, a signal support systems specialist with Headquarters and Headquarters Battery, 3rd Battalion, 197th Field Artillery Regiment on Jan Mayen Island, Norway, Aug. 30, 2026, in support of Operation Atlantic City 26. The coordination 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.
