NATO Takes Anti-Terrorism Training To Iceland
NATO troops from 14 nations are at Keflavik in Iceland for Northern Challenge 16.
It combines peacekeeping and humanitarian operation training to protect against global and regional threats to maritime security.
Iceland’s remote, rugged landscape makes it a perfect venue for NATO’s latest military training exercise.
It's a chance to practice responding to real-life terrorist attacks that use improvised and military explosive devices like those found in Afghanistan or on other frontlines.
The NATO alliance has been conducting exercises since 1951, and this year 22 teams from 14 nations took part in the fortnight-long course.
