Richard Johnson, a combat artist with the Marine Corps Combat Art Program, finishes a drawing from his barracks room in Bardufoss, Norway, Feb. 5, 2024. Johnson drew a Norwegian soldier who was standing guard in Setermoen, Norway. Combat artists capture hidden moments in military life and immortalize them through coal, ink, graphite and wax, preserving the emotion and details of the moments for generations of Marines. NR 24 is a Norwegian national readiness and defense exercise designed to enhance military capabilities and allied cooperation in high-intensity warfighting in a challenging arctic environment. This exercise will  test military activities ranging from the reception of allied and partner reinforcements and command and control interoperability to combined joint operations, maritime prepositioning force logistics, integration with NATO militaries and reacting against an adversary force during a dynamic training environment.
