    Four people are walking across a vast, dark sandy or volcanic terrain toward a distant shoreline or frozen body of water. A bright orange triangular marker or cone is visible to their left, likely serving as a navigation or survey marker. The landscape is barren and flat, with overcast skies and scattered rocks in the foreground.

    U.S. Air Force combat controllers with Special Tactics Squadron and a U.K. combat controller establish a drop zone for a Grasshopper Aerial Resupply Vehicle to test expeditionary delivery of medical supplies during Operation Atlantic City 26 on Jan Mayen, Norway, Sept. 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.

    Four people are walking across a vast, dark sandy or volcanic terrain toward a distant shoreline or frozen body of water. A bright orange triangular marker or cone is visible to their left, likely serving as a navigation or survey marker. The landscape is barren and flat, with overcast skies and scattered rocks in the foreground.
    A group of military personnel in cold-weather gear observe an aerial object descending under a parachute in an overcast sky. The scene appears to be a parachute drop or airdrop exercise conducted in a flat, arid terrain with a mountain visible in the background. Personnel are holding radio antennas and communication equipment, suggesting they are coordinating or monitoring the drop.
    Two individuals are running across a dark, flat terrain toward a deployed parachute and what appears to be a landed cargo or equipment container. One person is wearing military camouflage uniform while the other is in darker civilian-style clothing. The scene appears to be a military airdrop recovery operation conducted under overcast sky conditions.
    Two individuals are on a dark, flat terrain attempting to manage a large deployed parachute that is being inflated or dragged by wind. A piece of metal equipment or structure lies toppled on the ground to the left, and a smaller parachute or drogue chute is visible in the background. The overcast sky and dark ground suggest a remote, possibly coastal or volcanic landscape.
    A person wearing military camouflage uniform is handling a clear plastic medical supply bag on a light blue surface. The bag contains what appears to be syringes, tubing, and a labeled medical vial or package. The individual is wearing a ring on their finger and appears to be organizing or retrieving medical supplies.
    A person wearing digital camouflage military uniform and glasses is holding a clear plastic bag containing a red liquid substance. The individual has their hood up, suggesting outdoor conditions in cold or wet weather. The background appears to be an overcast, open terrain environment.
    A military personnel wearing MARPAT digital camouflage uniform holds up a blood bag (IV blood product) in an outdoor, mountainous environment. The setting appears cold and overcast, consistent with a northern or arctic training environment. This appears to be a field medical training exercise or demonstration involving blood product handling.
    A small aircraft wreckage is resting on a dark volcanic or black sand terrain, appearing to have crash-landed or been severely damaged. The fuselage is torn open, exposing white foam insulation material, while the wings remain largely intact. Tire or skid tracks in the dark sand suggest the aircraft slid along the surface before coming to rest.
