    A member of the Swedish Home Guard 296 chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear defense Platoon holds security during Exercise Archipelago Endeavor 26 in Berga, Sweden, Sept. 4, 2026. Combined training between U.S. Marines and the Swedish Armed Forces was focused on CBRN defense, medical crisis response, and amphibious operations, bringing CBRN and medical personnel together to respond to injured personnel following a simulated hazardous-area mission. U.S. and Swedish forces practiced moving casualties through the response process before transitioning them to decontamination and medical treatment. Archipelago Endeavor 26 strengthens bilateral interoperability, littoral defense capabilities, and tactical cooperation while demonstrating the readiness of U.S. and Swedish forces to operate together in the Baltic Sea region.

    The image shows Swedish military personnel in full combat gear, including gas masks and camouflage helmets, assisting or evacuating what appears to be a casualty or incapacitated soldier. The soldiers are wearing Swedish Armed Forces uniforms identifiable by the Swedish flag patch visible on one soldier's arm. The scene appears to be a military training exercise conducted in a forested outdoor environment.
    The image shows a group of soldiers in camouflage uniforms conducting what appears to be a military field training exercise in a forested outdoor area. Two soldiers in the foreground are assisting or dragging a third soldier along the ground, while additional soldiers move in the background. One soldier is wearing a gas mask and tactical vest, suggesting CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear) training scenarios.

The soldier is equipped with full combat gear including a gas mask, tactical helmet with rail-mounted accessories, body armor with magazine pouches, and is aiming what appears to be a Bofors/SAAB AK5 assault rifle. Additional soldiers in similar uniforms are visible in the background.
    Military personnel in CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear) protective gear are conducting a decontamination exercise on a simulated casualty. The personnel are wearing green hazmat suits, gas masks, and military helmets while treating a person lying on a yellow decontamination litter. Colored buckets (red and blue) are visible, consistent with standard decontamination station protocols.
    A military CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear) training exercise is taking place in a forested outdoor setting. Personnel in full protective gear including gas masks and hazmat suits are attending to a simulated casualty lying on a stretcher on the ground. The scene includes a gray military tent, medical supplies, and multiple responders in different protective suit configurations.
    A man is standing under an outdoor shower or rinse station, with water streaming down over his head and face. He has mud or dirt on his face and clothing, suggesting he recently completed a mud run or obstacle course event. His eyes are closed and he is holding a metal bar as water washes over him.
    Military personnel are conducting a combat casualty care exercise, with what appears to be a simulated wounded soldier lying on a stretcher covered in a mylar/emergency blanket. A US Marine in MARPAT camouflage and combat helmet is attending to the casualty, while a Swedish military service member (identified by the Swedish flag patch) takes notes with a pen. A third military figure in MARPAT uniform is partially visible on the right side of the frame.
    Two individuals in military or CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear) protective gear are engaged in what appears to be a training exercise in an outdoor wooded setting. One person wearing a full green hazmat-style suit with gas mask is assisting or checking the other person, who is wearing camouflage military clothing and a gas mask. A third person in camouflage is visible in the background near a military-style tent.
    Military medical personnel from what appear to be two different armed forces are treating a casualty on a stretcher inside a field medical tent. The scene depicts a tactical combat casualty care (TCCC) scenario, likely a training exercise, with medical supplies visible on an organized wall rack in the background. Personnel wearing different camouflage patterns — one consistent with Swedish military pattern and others consistent with US Marine Corps MARPAT — are working together on the patient.
    A military medic in US Marine Corps digital camouflage uniform is providing medical treatment to a patient lying on a field stretcher. The medic is wearing blue latex gloves and using a medical instrument, likely a laryngoscope or otoscope, while attending to the patient in what appears to be a forward medical treatment area or field hospital tent. Medical supplies and equipment are visible in the background.
