Marines and Allies Prove Rapid Arctic Deployment Capability

U.S. Marines, alongside Norwegian and Royal Air Force partners, executed a rapid deployment in the Arctic to validate expeditionary strike capabilities in extreme conditions. Loading JLTVs onto RAF A400 aircraft, the team demonstrated the ability to deliver and employ combat power anywhere, fast. Operating as surrogates for the Navy-Marine Corps Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System, the vehicles proved Marines can hold key maritime terrain at risk—denying adversaries sanctuary from the Arctic to the Pacific.
