Earlier this month, students at Hegra Upper Secondary School welcomed a group of U.S. Marines to their classrooms. The Marines are part of the Marine Rotational Force Europe 17.1 who are currently deployed at Værnes, and they talked to 8th, 9th, and 10th grades about their Norwegian experience.
The Marine Corps’ presence in Norway allows for increased collaboration with NATO allies and partners and galvanizes their long and close relationship with the Norwegian Armed Forces.
