Washington: Amidst renewed tensions between NATO and Russia, US Marines are stationing battle tanks, artillery and logistics equipment inside climate-controlled Cold War-era caves in Norway.
“Any gear that is forward-deployed reduces cost and speeds up our ability to support operations in crisis, so we’re able to fall in on gear that is ready-to-go and respond to whatever that crisis may be,” Colonel William Bentley, operations officer for the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Brigade, said. The cave complex is a modern and robust facility, staffed by about 100 Norwegian and US personnel, and it contains enough equipment to support 15,000 Marines.
