Exercise Cold Response 20 is the first in a series of exercises in northern Europe in which U.S. European Command forces will exercise our capability to deploy large numbers of U.S. forces in support of our European NATO allies and partners. The exercise is designed to enhance military capabilities and allied cooperation in high-intensity warfighting in a challenging Arctic environment with rugged terrain and extreme cold weather. Forces from all of the U.S. military services – from units based in Europe as well as the continental United States – are expected to participate in this Norway-hosted exercise.
