The Personnel Temporary Augmentee Program Norway 2015 Exercise combined elements of 4th Marine Logistics Group, 4th Marine Division and 4th Marine Aircraft Wing to provide two weeks of maintenance and supply support for the Marine Corps Prepositioning Program located in the Trondheim area of Norway. The detachment divided into multiple sites where equipment is stored in order to facilitate a simultaneous continuous workflow within each military occupational specialty while working with local Norwegian contracted logistics personnel. The program promotes regional security, maintains national interoperability and supports rapid response to crises and contingencies throughout the continents of Europe and Africa by maintaining strategic locations throughout Norway.

U.S. Marines and Norwegian allies conduct a Maritime Prepositioning offload during a pre-planned Single Ship Movement and offload of military equipment from a Maritime Prepositioning Force ship in the Trøndelag region of Norway. U.S. Marines from 2nd Marine Logistics Group out of Camp Lejeune, NC, in coordination with their Norwegian counterparts, are modernizing some of the equipment currently stored within six caves as a part of the Marine Corps Prepositioning Program-Norway by placing approximately 350 containers of gear and nearly 400 pieces of heavy rolling stock into the storage caves. Specific equipment which will greatly increase the program's readiness includes M1A1 Main Battle Tanks, Tank Retrievers, Armored Breeching Vehicles, Amphibious Assault Vehicles, Expanded Capacity Vehicle (ECV) Gun Trucks and several variants of the MTVR 7-1/2 ton trucks. Planning for this equipment refresh began in the spring of 2010. Marines and contractors from Blount Island Command in Jacksonville, Fla. and Marine Corps Forces Europe and Africa are also in Norway to ensure the operation is conducted in a safe and timely manner.
