US Marines have been permanently stationed in Norway on a rotational basis since 2017. That arrangement now comes to an end, according to the Norwegian Armed Forces.
Starting in late fall this year, the Americans will pull out and visit Norway only in connection with exercises.
It is a major shift in US security relations with Norway, that inevitably will affect the military situation in the region.
