    A group of armed military personnel in camouflage uniforms advance on foot along a dirt track, accompanied by two green military tactical vehicles (appearing to be Oshkosh JLTV-type trucks) with canvas-covered cargo beds. The terrain is characterized by dark volcanic soil with patches of bright yellow-green moss or lichen, suggesting a Nordic or sub-Arctic environment, likely Iceland. Military infrastructure including antenna towers, radar domes, and small buildings is visible in the background near a coastline.

    Norwegian Home Guard soldiers with 3rd Platoon, District 11, escort U.S. Marine Corps Joint Light Tactical Vehicles during a tactical displacement in Jan Mayen, Norway, Aug. 30, 2026. The joint escort and displacement, conducted during Operation Atlantic City 26, tested allied interoperability and freedom of movement to ensure NATO can rapidly position and protect critical assets in contested terrain. 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.
