A Marine fight in the arctic may look like this
Philip Athey
 

For nearly three weeks in March, Marines with 3rd Battalion, 6th Marines, put the phrase Marines fight in “every clime and place” to the test, battling the Norwegian late-winter snows alongside a notional near-peer threat.

The Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, Marines worked with Norwegian counterparts as part of the 20-day campaign, experimenting with the Corps’ new strategy to face off against a near-peer in the arctic climate of the far north.

Though China has been the main focus in the Marine Corps’ force design changes, the Corps also is keeping an eye on Russia and a potential fight in the frozen north — far away from the warm waters of the South China Sea.

   The Norwegians are a proven asset after they alienated the Soviets during WWII.
No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.
