U.S. Air Force combat controllers with Special Tactics Squadron and U.S. Marine Corps Capt. Justin Goshorn, a foreign area officer with U.S. Embassy Oslo, Norway, observe a Grasshopper Aerial Resupply Vehicle delivering medical supplies during Operation Atlantic City 26 on Jan Mayen, Norway, Sep. 1, 2026. The operation 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 and is situated 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.
