Briefly

NATO Launches 'Arctic Sentry' Mission
""for the first time we will bring everything we do in Arctic under one command. We will not only leverage all that we are doing, we will also see what gaps there are and we will fill them""
""Arctic Sentry underscores the Alliance's commitment to safeguard its members and maintain stability in one of the world's most strategically significant and environmentally challenging areas," adding that it would "leverage NATO's strength to protect our territory and ensure the Arctic and High North remains secure.""
""multidomain," meaning it will cover air, sea, and land."
On February 11 NATO launched Arctic Sentry to improve the alliance's military posture in the Arctic and centralize Arctic operations under a single command. The initiative follows tensions involving Denmark and the United States over Greenland and a Davos meeting that urged a larger NATO role around Greenland to counter potential Chinese and Russian interference. NATO describes the mission as multidomain, covering air, sea, and land. Denmark's Arctic Endurance exercise with 11 other European NATO nations is underway in and around Greenland, and the upcoming Cold Response exercise is scheduled in northern Norway. Details on participating countries and troop levels remain undisclosed.
