Brett E. Lazaroff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The current rotation in Norway has been in country learning how to fight and survive in an extreme <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinecorpstimes.com\/news\/your-marine-corps\/2018\/02\/20\/five-ski-tips-from-a-swedish-winter-warfare-instructor\/\" title=\"\" class=\"selected-link\" target=\"_blank\">cold-weather climate<\/a>; they will wrap up a nearly 6-month deployment in the next few weeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new rotation from 1\/6 will be the third six-month rotation for Marines to the fellow NATO allied country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Commandant Gen. Robert B. Neller has recently upped the ante on cold-weather training for the Corps as the force anticipates a looming battle ahead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the Marine rotation to Norway has been relatively small, the Arctic country is gearing up for a major NATO exercise this fall called Trident Juncture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Neller recently described the exercise as one of the largest and first of its kind before lawmakers at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on Wednesday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The large-scale military training event will involve nearly 35,000 troops from more than 20 countries, Lazaroff told Marine Corps Times. The event will culminate with a command post exercise in Naples, Italy, slated for November. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A cold-weather focus is something the Corps hasn\u2019t had in a while, Neller said during a discussion at the Center for International and Strategic Studies in January. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marines and their equipment, including aircraft, have been subjected to extreme cold-weather training across the states and in other allied countries like Norway, Sweden, Germany and South Korea over the past year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Training has included everything from skiing, fighting in the snow and the use of over-the-snow vehicles like the Corps\u2019 BV-206. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/BV-206.png.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-50568\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/BV-206.png.png 1000w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/BV-206.png.png?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/BV-206.png.png?resize=768,512 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Warlords of 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division fire .50 caliber machine guns on a range in Norway from mounted BV positions.

It can also reduce the range of these weapon systems. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new rotation of roughly 300 Marines from Camp Lejeune soon will be headed to
