00:00.220 --> 00:02.440
- Yeah, I think that, first of all,

00:02.440 --> 00:04.820
you need to get the troops on ground.

00:04.820 --> 00:07.810
So, of course you need
to train and exercise

00:07.810 --> 00:10.410
on the reception staging
and onward movement

00:10.410 --> 00:12.350
for the troops coming into theater,

00:12.350 --> 00:17.350
and the Exercise Trident
Juncture gives us good expertise

00:17.940 --> 00:20.040
and training with that matter.

00:20.040 --> 00:22.030
And of course, then you have to redeploy,

00:22.030 --> 00:23.930
and you're gonna have
to train that as well.

00:23.930 --> 00:25.050
In a couple of days now,

00:25.050 --> 00:28.890
we are ending the arzome operation,

00:28.890 --> 00:32.373
and we start on the
redeployment part of it.

00:34.128 --> 00:36.560
So a lot of good training going on.

00:36.560 --> 00:40.210
We will test our airports,
we will test our seaports.

00:40.210 --> 00:42.200
We will test our railheads,

00:42.200 --> 00:45.660
and we will also test
our main supply routes

00:45.660 --> 00:50.660
throughout the middle and
the southern part of Norway.

00:51.070 --> 00:55.300
Yeah, well Norway is
where we are training now.

00:55.300 --> 00:58.303
It's huge distances.

00:59.570 --> 01:04.130
Just to give you an example,
if you take the northern part

01:04.130 --> 01:08.950
of Norway and turn Norway
upside down, you end up in Rome.

01:08.950 --> 01:11.010
So Norway is a quite narrow country,

01:11.010 --> 01:12.530
but it's a very long country.

01:12.530 --> 01:15.430
So, we are talking distances here,

01:15.430 --> 01:20.350
and that's why the fuel insulations
and the number of trucks

01:20.350 --> 01:22.950
coming in are to actually
do the convoy operations,

01:22.950 --> 01:26.820
are so essential in
order to get the troops

01:26.820 --> 01:30.360
where they are supposed to
be when the exercise starts.

01:30.360 --> 01:33.410
And that's actually
today, 25th of October.

01:33.410 --> 01:36.100
For Norway, it's first and foremost,

01:36.100 --> 01:41.100
an exercise training our host
nation support capability.

01:41.150 --> 01:44.250
In Norway, we operate out
from a concept called,

01:44.250 --> 01:46.270
a Total Defense concept.

01:46.270 --> 01:49.560
So here in our National
Joint Headquarters,

01:49.560 --> 01:54.010
we have representatives, liaisons
from the road authorities,

01:54.010 --> 01:56.280
the rail authorities,
the airport authorities,

01:56.280 --> 01:59.230
and also a lot of the other
governmental institutions

01:59.230 --> 02:04.230
in Norway, in order to facilitate
this huge NATO exercise.

02:05.070 --> 02:08.423
And again, our main effort
is host nation support.

02:09.350 --> 02:14.350
I think it's important when we
are hosting this big exercise

02:14.510 --> 02:18.260
in Norway, in the period of October,

02:18.260 --> 02:20.263
soon getting into November.

02:22.410 --> 02:27.230
One of the training objects
is doing winter warfare,

02:27.230 --> 02:30.950
and of course the road condition
and the weather condition,

02:30.950 --> 02:33.700
we have to pay close attention to.

02:33.700 --> 02:36.140
So my biggest hope for this exercise

02:36.140 --> 02:40.890
is the outcome will be
good, and that we can do it

02:40.890 --> 02:45.310
without fatal injuries when
it comes to road accidents.

02:45.310 --> 02:47.000
Welcome to Norway.

02:47.000 --> 02:48.163
We are NATO.

02:51.380 --> 02:53.707
- We are NATO.
- We are NATO.
