Exercise Joint Viking brought NATO Allies and partners together in the frigid north of Norway for high-tempo, cold weather operations.
Synopsis
Exercise Joint Viking, which ran until 16 March 2023, is a military winter exercise held in Norway every two years. Its main purpose is to demonstrate the defence of Norway and of NATO's northern flank. It involves air, land and maritime assets from NATO Allies and partners.
Exercise Joint Viking provides opportunities to enhance the readiness of deployed units and their ability to work effectively together, in arduous winter conditions and across different operational domains.
As part of the exercise, Dutch Marines docked at the port of Malangen in the north-western part of Norway. Troops from Norway and the United Kingdom took on the role of the defending forces while Dutch and German troops acted as aggressors.
Footage includes various shots of Dutch Marines performing an amphibious landing and troops from Norway and the United Kingdom conducting defensive operations.
