This is going slowly. I believe that there are some small problems with their media archive, because sometimes they want me to log in, sometimes I see the ones already posted and sometimes it says "No files at this location". Other than that, not much news or media out yet.

If you are really interested, you could always read an article about "Avalanche Hunters":

Also, the Swedes got their own dedicated CR2010 page, with a few pictures and some storys that doesn't make any sense unless you are Swedish

Royal Marines' Amphibious Assault

3 Commando Brigade Royal Marines (3 Cdo Bde RM) with support elements from the Dutch and USMC forces carried out an Amphibious landing on the peninsular of Trondenes, Harstad, Norway.

In a matter of twenty minutes the beach head was secure with all elements landed and moving inland.
The Landings began from HMS Albion and RFA Mounts Bay after midday with a small contingent of Royal Marines coming ashore in Offshore Raiding Crafts (ORC’s). They were then followed by Landing Craft Vehicle Personnel (LCVP) which carried the main body of seventy troops from Zulu Company 45 Commando Royal Marines. During the Landings the Marines had over head support from the Lynx’s Helicopters of 847 Sqn, and the Seaking Helicopters of 845 Sqn, Commando Helicopter Force Royal Marines. Also during the landings the Guns of 7 (Sphinx) Commando Light Battery Royal Artillery were brought ashore by air and sea in the larger Landing Craft Utility (LCU).

This is not the end of the training for the troops; the deployment continues into late February and early March with Exercise Cold Response that brings together 10 allied countries in the amphibious role.
