Northern Viking 24 (NV24), a U.S. Naval Forces Europe-led exercise, is currently underway in the strategically vital Greenland, Iceland, United Kingdom (GIUK) gap. This exercise involves maritime, air, and land forces from six NATO partner nations, including the United States, focusing on interoperability and coordination between military and civilian entities.
Currently deployed to Iceland, the Navy Expeditionary Resuscitative Surgical System (ERSS) Team 9 has joined forces with the Marine Corps Shock Trauma Team (STT) from Combat Logistics Battalion 8 (CLB 8) with the overall goal to test concepts of expeditionary medical care in support of GIUK gap operations. The collaboration is part of a larger joint and combined operation involving Navy, Marine Corps and NATO partners, and supports the NAVEUR line of effort to improve capabilities of our allies and strengthen partnerships.
