The event involves land, air, and sea operations, with significant activity in Troms and Nordland.

Civilians are urged to exercise caution on roads due to increased military traffic, with specific routes heavily impacted.

Restrictions on drones and civilian flights are also in place to ensure safety.

This biennial exercise underscores NATO's commitment to defending Norway and adapting to evolving global security challenges.
