00:04.710 --> 00:05.079
Oh .

00:09.520 --> 00:11.464
And today in the port of Norvik in

00:11.464 --> 00:13.631
Norway , we are unloading the vessel ,

00:13.631 --> 00:15.742
the Arc Integrity . We have about 580

00:15.742 --> 00:17.742
pieces on board that we staging for

00:17.742 --> 00:19.964
onward movement . I have 17 soldiers on

00:19.964 --> 00:22.131
ground that will be assisting with the

00:22.131 --> 00:24.353
onward movement from Norway into Sweden

00:24.353 --> 00:23.590
all the way into Finland . We'll be

00:23.600 --> 00:25.322
staging all the equipment with

00:25.322 --> 00:27.267
assistance of 310 mountain and not

00:27.267 --> 00:29.322
proving anything for onward movement

00:29.322 --> 00:31.267
into the next areas . Natural port

00:31.267 --> 00:33.267
operations are incredibly important

00:33.267 --> 00:35.322
because we're not just in this fight

00:35.322 --> 00:37.378
alone , not only with just us forces

00:37.378 --> 00:39.600
but aligning this across the High North

00:39.600 --> 00:41.433
is as a NATO really organization

00:41.433 --> 00:43.489
together is vastly important because

00:43.489 --> 00:45.711
this together , we lean on each other's

00:45.711 --> 00:45.490
strengths to deter aggression and how

00:45.500 --> 00:47.500
we project force together is how we

00:47.500 --> 00:49.333
should fight across the European

00:49.333 --> 00:51.880
theater . This has been a part of a

00:51.889 --> 00:54.750
larger operation , steadfast defender

00:54.939 --> 00:57.409
exercise . We had Nordic response

00:57.419 --> 00:59.475
during March and April and this is a

00:59.475 --> 01:01.950
continuation of that one . It has been

01:01.959 --> 01:04.070
a great experience working with a lot

01:04.070 --> 01:06.900
of nations trying out new concepts and

01:06.910 --> 01:09.540
these concepts with us forces coming to

01:09.550 --> 01:11.717
Norway , transporting through Norway ,

01:11.717 --> 01:14.029
Sweden towards Finland is actually the

01:14.040 --> 01:16.151
first time we are doing so . That has

01:16.151 --> 01:18.151
been a great experience so far . It

01:18.151 --> 01:21.930
shows our ability to solve our duties

01:21.940 --> 01:24.830
as an alliance . It shows the us

01:24.839 --> 01:28.519
ability to move from Kono to Europe and

01:28.529 --> 01:31.199
to Norway , especially ability to

01:31.209 --> 01:34.040
transport the forces further . This is

01:34.050 --> 01:36.750
a show of force moving the forces .
