In addition, the partner countries Finland and Sweden will participate.
  • Allied forces have arrived in Norway ever since the fall of 2021 to train and prepare before the exercise.
  • The exercise will take place in Northern, Central and Southeasten Norway, with emphasis in the North. In the North, the exercise will play out from Bodø to Porsangermoen.
