Finnish air force F\/A-18 Hornets were also pictured on the roadway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur mission is to ensure the joint force can fight and win,\u201d Maj. Gen. Daniel Shipley, the commander of U.S. Marine Corps Forces Europe and Africa, said in the release. \u201cOur participation in Ramstein Flag enhances the lethality of the Marine Corps, enables NATO success and guarantees our ability to deter and defeat sophisticated aerial threats.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elements of the 2nd MAW were previously slated to participate in the Norway-based Arctic warfare exercise Cold Response 2026 in March, but were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/europe\/2026\/03\/12\/nations-withdraw-some-equipment-from-nato-arctic-exercise-amid-iran-fallout\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\" title=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/europe\/2026\/03\/12\/nations-withdraw-some-equipment-from-nato-arctic-exercise-amid-iran-fallout\/\">pulled back amid concerns over the conflict with Iran<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The non-traditional Finnish highway operation was designed to test combat adaptability in an increasingly contested Arctic, the service said, with air command and control of the highway operations \u2014 and other air missions \u2014 coordinated from NATO\u2019s Combined Air Operations Center in Bodo, Norway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis iteration of Ramstein Flag stretches from the northernmost parts of Norway to the southern reaches of Spain, showcasing Allied Airpower\u2019s 360-degree approach to defend every inch of NATO territory,\u201d U.S. Air Force Lt.
