The U.S. Marine Corps has been hiding a war stockpile inside Norwegian climate-controlled caves full of vehicles, cold-weather gear, and mission-essential equipment; already positioned, already waiting. During Cold Response 26, Marines drew more than 14,000 items directly from those stocks. Russia's security services know the caves exist. Norway's own PST (Norwegian Police Security Service) just warned it faces its most serious security situation since World War II, with Russian intelligence actively targeting military sites, allied exercises, and Ukrainian refugee communities for coercion and recruitment.
