US Green Berets are looking to troops from NATO's newest member as 'mentors' for harsh winter combat

Finland became NATO's 31st member in April, but it has long worked closely with the alliance.

Finns are adept at winter warfare, an area of focus for militaries worried about the Arctic.

In March, US Green Berets trained in the Arctic with "mentors" from Finland's Utti Jaeger Regiment.
 

One of the biggest shifts in European security prompted by the war in Ukraine has been Sweden's and Finland's decision to abandon non-alignment and apply to NATO.

After intense diplomacy, Finland officially joined the alliance in April, becoming NATO's 31st member. Sweden's application is pending, but officials say it will join soon.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

LOL!

This might have been news back in the 1950's,but I knew about it in the 1960's. A Teams from the 10th SFG in Bad Tolz Germany were doing winter training missions with the Finns and the Swedes.

And,of course,with the German mountain troops,too.
