7,000 NATO Troops Trained in Finland as part of exercise Cold Response 2026

Around 7,000 troops trained in Finland as part of exercise Cold Response, carrying out cold‑weather operations and testing joint tactics across deep snow, forests and frozen lakes. The exercise brought NATO Allies together to refine how they fight side by side in some of the coldest and most remote environments. It demonstrates that NATO can project strength, defend Allied territory and maintain a credible presence across the Arctic and the High North — even in the harshest conditions.

Exercise Cold Response forms part of Arctic Sentry, NATO’s newly established vigilance activity focused on the defence and security of the Arctic and the High North. The exercise took place in Norway and Finland from 9 to 20 March 2026, with over 30,000 personnel from 14 Allied countries training together across all domains: land, maritime, air, cyber and space.

Footage includes French Chasseurs Alpins soldiers manoeuvring through the dense Arctic forest; Swedish tanks advancing through the woods; US marines establishing field positions alongside Swedish forces; Finnish soldiers operating in Arctic terrain; US Marine Corps KC‑130J crews setting up a temporary refuelling point; and Finnish F/A‑18 Hornets being maintained and taking off. It also features soundbites from senior military leaders, including generals from Finland and Sweden, as well as senior officers from the US Marine Corps, Italy’s mountain troops and the French Chasseurs Alpins.
