    Military personnel are gathered beside a green tactical vehicle, likely an Oshkosh JLTV or similar MRAP-class truck, in a rugged volcanic terrain. The landscape features dark basaltic gravel and moss-covered rocky hillsides consistent with Icelandic or similar North Atlantic geography. Several soldiers in combat uniforms appear to be conducting equipment checks or a briefing near the vehicle.

    U.S. Marines set up communications equipment following a tactical displacement in Jan Mayen, Norway, Sept. 1, 2026. The rapid establishment of command-and-control nodes during Operation Atlantic City 26 is essential to maintain operational tempo and ensure NATO can coordinate joint effects from dispersed locations 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.
