    A Norwegian Home Guard soldier with 3rd Platoon, District 11, looks through the optic of a Heckler & Koch HK416 assault rifle while conducting a security patrol en route to the historic World War II-era "Atlantic City" site in Jan Mayen, Norway, Aug. 29, 2026. The tactical patrol and site visit, conducted during Operation Atlantic City 26, fostered trilateral cohesion among Norwegian, U.S., and British forces while reinforcing the shared heritage and strategic legacy of Arctic operations. 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.
