U.S. Soldiers assigned to 2nd Platoon, Charlie Battery, 1st Battalion, 6th Field Artillery Regiment, 41st Field Artillery Brigade conduct platoon-level training with M270A2 Multiple Launch Rocket Systems during Exercise Joint Viking 25 in Setermoen, Norway, March 4, 2025. The training allowed the M270A2 crews to familiarize themselves with operating the vehicle in arctic terrain and conducting dry-fire missions ahead of live fires that will occur later in the exercise. As a multilateral exercise in Norway, Joint Viking 25's goal is to strengthen the U.S. Army's ability to operate with Arctic Allies and rapidly respond to a crisis in Arctic terrain. The exercise involved U.S. Soldiers, Marines and personnel from Norway, the Netherlands, Finland, Germany, Denmark, and Great Britain, focusing on cold weather skills and cooperation with Allied forces.
