It’s good to have friends 🙌 Swipe to see more ↔️ During their stay in southern #Finland 🇫🇮, the 🇺🇸 US Marines provided logistical support to the Finnish Navy’s Nyland Brigade, a conscript unit that focuses on amphibious operations. Based at the brigade’s headquarters in Dragsvik, the Marines learned how to integrate their operations with the Finnish forces, who are experts at navigating the island-dense archipelago off the country’s southern shore using small, fast landing craft. The Marines also took part in Freezing Winds, one of the biggest maritime exercises ever organised in Finland, an intensive training scenario that saw the Marines provide around-the-clock support to their Finnish counterparts. The nearly three-month mission was the longest deployment of US Marines to Finland to date, showing how the US military’s amphibious force is investing heavily in its cold-weather warfare capabilities. #NATO #OTAN #armedforces #army #military #troops #soldier #usmarines #usarmy #marines #maavoimat #suomi #bettertogether #militarytraining #militaryphoto #militaryphotography
