Only by training together, we can demonstrate our capability to protect the High North. The Lapland Stone 25, Arctic Forge 25 and Joint Viking 25 exercises are now complete, and we can proudly declare: #PohjoinenPitää – The North Holds.
The Finnish Army conducted joint exercises with Allies not only in Northern Finland but also in Northern Sweden and Northern Norway as part of the Lapland Stone 25, Arctic Forge 25, and Joint Viking 25 exercises. The Allied forces were rapidly deployed to High North, where we carried out three completely different exercises together with Nordic, U.S. and Canadian forces. The exercises focused on enhancing capabilities in areas such as receiving and providing international support, joint fires, and command.
