February, U.S. Navy and NATO explosive ordnance disposal teams put their skills to the test ahead of this year\u2019s largest Arctic exercise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. sailors joined Swedish and Norwegian troops to carry out &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dvidshub.net\/news\/558390\/eod-technicians-prove-arctic-warfare-readiness-norway?utm_\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\"

and strategic explosive disposal training. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over their 10 days in Kristiansand, the crews practiced neutralizing explosives both underwater and on land, conducting rapid airfield repair and engaging in short-range combat under harsh Arctic conditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Swedish forces, NATO\u2019s newest members as of 2024, were fully integrated in the training, signaling more interoperability in the increasingly contested region. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>\u201c<\/i>In the Arctic, the smallest detail can become the biggest threat,&#8221; Navy Senior Chief Petty Officer Juan Hernandez said in a <a

Swedish partners ensures we operate as a single, lethal force.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exercise was reportedly a success, with U.S. Navy leaders praising the tight collaboration between participating nations, claiming &#8220;<a

<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arctic Specialist 26 took place just a few days before <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nato.int\/en\/what-we-do\/deterrence-and-defence\/arctic-security\"

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arctic Specialist 26 offered an early look at what small, specialized teams can accomplish in the High North.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These drills also help set the stage for the upcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forsvaret.no\/en\/exercises-and-operations\/exercises\/cr26\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.forsvaret.no\/en\/exercises-and-operations\/exercises\/cr26\">Cold Response 26<\/a>, NATO\u2019s largest Arctic exercise of the year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
