U..S Marines and Sailors with Marine
Rotational Force-Europe 18.1 dig into the hillside to
construct snow caves during a winter warfare training
exercise at Haltdalen Training Center, Norway during April
2018. More than 70 Marines and Sailors spent three weeks in
the Norwegian wilderness learning cold weather survival
techniques, which were taught by Norwegian Soldiers with
Home Guard 12. Each service member shoveled several hundred
pounds of snow and ice so every cave could accommodate four
individuals.
