The drills are designed to prepare allied forces for operations in the High North and focus on modern warfare scenarios across multiple domains, including land, sea, air, cyber, and space. TVP World spoke with Vice Admiral of the Norfolk command, James Morely, who says the drills are intended to improve situational awareness and operational readiness in the Arctic, where strategic competition has intensified in recent years. The exercises also highlight the Nordic total defense model, which combines military preparedness with civilian resilience in times of war, crisis, or natural disaster. NATO is increasingly looking at how that concept could be applied more widely across the alliance as security concerns grow, particularly over threats from the east.
