Mr. Archie Hamilton
There are no NATO exercises due to be held in Norway during March. A Norwegian national exercise, designated "Cold Winter", is planned to take place in which several members of the Alliance, including the United Kingdom, have been invited to take part. Three Commando Brigade Royal Marines together with several Royal Navy ships and RAF aircraft will form the British contribution.
