US Marine Corps (USMC) officials say they saw evidence in March during the exercise ‘Cold Response 2022′ in Norway that the USMC Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations (EABO) concept can work in Arctic regions.

“Clearly, we are learning about being expeditionary – away from North Carolina or South Carolina, or away from your own base,” US Marine Corps General David Berger, USMC commandant, told reporters at a press conference during the exercise.

Speaking during the press conference at the Norwegian Bardufoss Air Station on 23 March, Gen Berger said marines were learning the basics of what they need to set up EABO in such regions during the exercise.

Hosted by the Norwegian military, ‘Cold Response 2022′ combines the forces of NATO allies and partner countries, with 27 countries, about 30,000 troops, 20 aircraft, and more than 50 vessels taking part in the exercise.
