3 Commando Brigade is developing its Cold Weather Warfare capability after ten years of campaigning in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The training is taking place in the High North region of Norway and is strategically important to the United Kingdom.
Norway is the largest external supplier of energy to the UK and as the polar icecap melts, activity in the wider region, including commercial shipping, resource exploitation, fishing and tourism, is set to increase. It is in our interest that we work with the Norwegians and that we have the skills that would be necessary if we needed to conduct military operations in the region.
