Norwegian Armed Forces and civilian emergency response organization personnel aid a simulated casualties at Breivika Harbour in Tromsø, Norway, March 12, 2026. Norwegian soldiers and emergency responders aided a simulated casualty during a simulated mass-casualty reception exercises as part of Cold Response 26. During the scenario, approximately 80 to 100 role players acting as casualties arrive by vessel from a simulated “northern front” and are received by military and civilian responders operating within Norway’s total defense framework. Personnel conducted casualty reception, triage and coordinated transport operations before moving patients to University Hospital of North Norway for follow-on treatment. The exercise demonstrates cooperation between the Norwegian Armed Forces, allied partners and civilian agencies and aims to increase public understanding of the importance of Norway’s total defense system while strengthening coordination for large-scale emergency and wartime medical response.
