    U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Thomas Burkhardt, a radio operator with Fires Support Battalion, 10th Marine Regiment, operates a Simple Key Loader to load cryptographic keys in Jan Mayen, Norway, Sept. 1, 2026. The establishment of secure, encrypted communications, conducted during Operation Atlantic City 26, is fundamental to ensuring allied forces can safely transmit data and maintain command and control 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.
