British Royal Marine Commandos face immediate enemy

British Royal Marine Commandos face immediate enemy contact after being inserted by U.S. Marine Corps CH-53 helicopters in the vicinity of Namsos, Norway. The troop delivery reinforced offensive action to take a local bridge identified as critical to the operation during a field training exercise as a part of Exercise Cold Response 2016. Cold Response 16 improves capabilities between NATO allies and partners and creates a foundation for future cooperation. This exercise enables the NATO alliance to work together and demonstrate both our unwavering commitment to our collective defense under the North Atlantic Treaty and our ability to counter transnational threats.
