🛡️❄️ Greenland’s security is NATO’s security. More than 400 personnel from 11 NATO nations trained together across Greenland — strengthening the ability to operate, sustain and fight in one of the Alliance’s most demanding environments. Part of Arctic Sentry, the joint training demonstrated a clear commitment: Allies are present, integrated and ready to defend together across the High North. From Arctic mobility and reconnaissance to logistics, medical support and joint operations, Exercise Arctic Shield 2026 builds Allies ability to work together to defend NATO’s north. @NATO | @SHAPE_NATO | @LANDCMD | @NATO_SOF | @forsvaretdk | @Forsvaret_no | @Forsvarsmakten | @Puolustusvoimat | @EtatMajorFR | @armeedeTerre | @CJOC_COIC | @CanadianForces | @bundeswehrInfo | @BelgiumDefence | @DK_NATO | @NorwayNATO | @SwedenNato | @FinlandatNATO | @FranceOTAN | @CanadaNATO | @CanadaOTAN | @GermanyNATO | @BelgiumNATO

General Nick Perry DSO MBE 🇬🇧 assumes Command of Joint Force Command Norfolk. Addressing the Command, Gen. Perry set out a clear focus for JFC Norfolk and NATO’s mission across the North Atlantic: “The North Atlantic is once again a theatre of strategic competition. The assumptions many of us enjoyed for decades can no longer be taken for granted. That is why: 🔹Deterrence matters. 🔹Readiness matters. 🔹Warfighting matters. And that is why this Command exists. Our task is simple to describe, but demanding to deliver: to ensure NATO can deter aggression, defend the Alliance and, if deterrence fails, prevail in conflict alongside our Allies and partners.” 🔗jfcnorfolk.nato.int/activity… @NATO | @SecGenNATO | @SHAPE_NATO | @NATOJFCBS | @JFC_Naples | @NATO_MARCOM | @NATO_AIRCOM | @LANDCMD | @DefenceHQ | @DefenceOps | @UKNATO | @UKCDS_MOD | @GenGJenkinsRM | @CSOC_MOD | @UKinUSA
