    U.S. Marines set up communications equipment and a Strikemaster mobile anti-ship missile system following a tactical displacement in Jan Mayen, Norway, Sept. 1, 2026. This action, conducted during Operation Atlantic City 26, is a critical step in creating a lethal and agile expeditionary advanced base, ensuring NATO can rapidly integrate long-range precision fires and 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.
