I'm Canadian and trained in Norway. They have alot of surprises. It's basically impossible to invade. They have underground rail cars with explosives that can knock out any major routes into the country ect, if need be.
Defensive lines outside Tromsø, in Northern Norway, massive killing ground, with every type of cannons build into the mountains, including 180mm ships cannons, with their autoloaders, the most interesting position was the bunker in the middle of everything...
@@fonkyman Come and get it. Fighing a war in Norway ( Alaska ) is hard , dark and cold as hell. The tarrain is a nightmare everywhere in it s own way. ( NO ) lol
I was a USMC 0352 with 2nd Mar Div, 2nd Marine regiment and did two NATO Ops in Norway in the late 80s. We were cold weather specialists. Workups started in January with 30 days at Cold Weather Mountain Warfare School and the another 30 days at Ft McCoy, Wisconsin, then Tower Air 747 to Norway. The big plan was to airlift Marines from CONUS and have the prepositioned ready to go to fight the Russians as they would attempt to come down from the north through Finland. We were up by Narvik and Tromso. Very few avenues of approach for the Orcs to maneuver around due to all the mountains and fjords. We would have kicked their Orc asses back then and based on their current operations in the Ukraine, most definitely kick their asses now.
Thank you dedicating your time to our defense. You got tihs right... Tromsø to Bardufoss, a lot of different passes, in particular around Skibotn. Narrow valleys... They may come through Finland, do an amhibious landing or cross over Finnmark (northern Norway.). Most likely a combination. They won't have an easy job south of Tromsø.
We do alot of training up there every year so it makes sense for us to just keep the equipment there instead of spending insane amounts of money to ship it back and fourth.
This is nothing new, during the 80’s when serving in West Germany we had our own equipment. And had pre positioned enough vehicles and ammunition to supply 5 infantry divisions. They would fly over from CONUS within 72 hours of hostilities if needed. They referred to these exercises are REFORGER.
Back in the late 80's I knew a guy who was responsible for emptying some of these old US military storage sites, I believe somewhere in Scandinavia. They opened up store and found a load of DUKW amphibious vehicles left preserved from WW2. Back then DUKW were selling at about £35,000 between collectors and that was if you could find one.
I’ve known this for a long time now. I’ve “prezed” (preserved) a lot of these pieces myself for long term storage and the US military has a lot of facilities like this around the world in case of WW3. USMC 02-06 IYAOYAS
As an American. it is like looking back at the 90s and early 2000s. Same equipment overall. It is good to see it being used in a good country for a change though.

We have many of them in Norway, some that are even larger and some that are small. We have bunkers with it's own shipyard for submarines, inside mountains. Bunkers to stop hostile forces to get access, both on land and at sea. We got them all.
Equipment in these facilities are on rotations. So when something is taken out, it is replaced with something else. You can probably ques what they was rotated with. Equipment that are stored in these facility have already been maintained/serviced/fixed. Equipment with dessert camo have probably been trough the facility in Germany or in USA. Equipment in these bunkere that are taken out for service are either maintained locally or transported to US where it will be used

I always thought that the Marines were set up to be sacrificial offerings in that theater.

The US marines, would be an reinforcement together with the main part of the Norwegian army and Home Guard. The initially Norwegian army in the North was supposed to hold out for 48 hours+ before they start to pull back and rendezvous with main bulk of the Norwegian army (back then Norway could mobilize 350.000 between army and Home Guard and a uncertain numbers of reservse (today 170.000)). When the Norwegian army was fully mobilized after 48-72 hours with US marines in some position, first then will Norway go on the offensive
Norway (and now Finland) are expected to withstand against an invasion force for 30 days until they get reinforcements and their allies ramp up wartime industry. Plus, Marines of any kind, especially the Norwegian Royal Marines are nothing to fool around about as they are acclimated to surviving and fighting in the frosty environment of the arctic circle night and day.
It is meant to be a narcissistic form of intimidation; it's also called the ice-berg effect that is just the tip of what is stored-and those locations have been disclosed as decoy target sites for our enemies - the other 5 duplicate sites and locations are classified and top-secret. NATO is only appearing weak as they seem too instill a false confidence in our enemies ( BRICS ) so they attack us, then we can destroy them and save the USA reserve currency and remain in control of the rest of the world.
what a waste of taxpayers money !!! there should be an investigation and heavy punishment for this waste of money ; while the country is flodded with illegals, crime and infrastructure coming apart, social services lacking !! absolutely sickening !!!!
Canada has a habit of not paying their bills and flaking from their responsibikities. We are constantly dealing with their liberal bullshit. Texas oklahoma these places cannot stand canada its essentually nazi germany to us. To me as an american i see canada as a failed country designwd to competr with usa over land disputes since the begging. Theyve been in the way since the bwggining. George washington was literally going west and he huts the missisipi its filled with frenchmen he went to war and beat them back to canada where they also didnt belong. Then after washington they had to go to war against the spanish mexicans to get to california. A shithole today. Anyway, then we didntnhave alaska the corrupt french canadians had it but then russia was claiming it was theres also. So they gave it to us and we paid russia to stay in their side of the diomedes in their bad financial period because of the ussr collapse. So canada cant defend from russia or china mainly russia. They cant defend themselves. They banned guns you need a permit for a bear gun its a.full blown permission slip requiring order following tyranny bro on the bordee of montana. How can such socially nice people be so anti rights. The less gun rights canada gets the easier it will be for usa to buy or take places like yukon and northern territories,.whuch frankly should be usa. Canada doesnt protect their own airspace. We have to. They dont do much besides hog land and volunterily give up rights. At least mant. Not all not all. A lot in fact there they can hardly believe the taliban has more gun rights than them. They need a permit for a bear gun and no self defense guns at all despite usa being the supermassice armed sheild geographically protecting them from russia mexico. The canadians really admire the frency but not usa. I mean france teams with usa a lot but france didnt want canada to exist 😂 spain neither none of them wanter usa or canada to exist. Florida has all these spanish named not spanish from mexico spaniah from spain back in the 1600s 1700s when they were warring over the land before it became usa and canada or even mexico. Mexico is worse than canada even today though. You respect their way of living the food, but its cartels homelands really it would be better if usa owmed mexico theyre sorta like two beligerent children this canada and mexico. Usa.itself is way ahead of them both
Sites like these are all over europe... I participated in ReForGer '84, coming from CONUS, we had nothing but our personal gear and weapons, we went to a POMCUS site, drew our vehicles, trucks, APC's, IFV's, tanks whatever we needed and off to the field we went... IF russia thinks they going to take on europe, they need to think again...
USMC used to have M1s there a couple of years ago, but they brought them home and are not supposed to use them anymore. I think that may be a little bit of a mistake. While they may not be useful in a Taiwan conflict, they would certainly be if war broke out here in Norway.
man i would love to just visit there and just look at all the beautiful american machines, love from sweden , "yes i know im close but i dont think they want a civilians climbing around thier military hardware"
its the same concept as a ghost city in china, retired equipment goes here, classified but shown to the world, in the hope that it will draw fire rather somewhere that is classified
Now the front line of NATO just skipped two countries East it will be interesting to see if the dynamics changes, a lot of that heavy kit is well suited to rocky and mountainous Norway where the Enemy will be forced through Alpine valleys. France and Britain put a lot boots on the ground early in WW2 even with Norwegians help the Germans pushed up quickly and repelled them. That said through bogs, marshes and lakes of the vast Swedish and Finish interiors where Marines still operate a wide front maybe needs hand over to the Army and NATO allies to step up. It would suggest the service best suited to this theatre of Operations would be the Armies Airborne divisions, who can penetrate deep and with drones and shoulder mounted kit play havoc with any advancing Russia forces. Russia in the Soviet era struggle to bring its military might through this part of the world. I’ve always thought Britain never challenged the Swedes dominating this region through the centuries because it’s vast and difficult to penetrate like Canada. It’s as much a Balwark region for the Russians as it is for the British with neither historic power in the region, keeping the status quo suited both. It is concerning they both joined NATO but understandable after Ukraine. Moscow’s gains and loses in this misadventure just don’t stack up for any side.
As a Norwegian i'm embarrassed that our military is so small and weak that we are 100% reliant on our allies to be able to defend ourselves. We have the money, but our politicians unfortunately don't see the value of safety....
Sorry, you seem like a person out of touch with reality, and sense of economy. Norway IS !!!! small, and weak compared to Russia, no matter how one twist and turn it. And WHY on earth should Norway attempt spend all their money to try match Russia millitary (and it would likely been far from enough), when they can be a part of a group, NATO, where several countries in common will coperate and put in a part for the benefit of all????
@@Rimrock300 What are money worth if you don't have freedom? I have never said that we should have the same military as Russia, but I mean we should have a military that is strong enough to defend our country for long enough time for the population to evacuate and our allies to come for our aid. This means being able to hold the enemy back for about 1 month, something we are not able to today. We also have a 2% of gdp for military spending as a commitment to NATO. This need to be fulfilled and I think it should be raised to 3% as soon as possible.
Dobrý den,budeme rádi,když to těm norům vůbec půjde nastartovat,protože když každý týden vidím ty odstavenená porouchaná vozidla US Army, tak je mi z toho smutno.Nevyrábějme vojenskou techniku,mějme se rádi a žijme spolu v souladu!
And just how is that working out for the Ukrainians? IMO, it’s shit talk like this that gets a lot of people killed. Lots of evil in this world (see) North Korea, Russia, China, Iran, Isis, Syria, Venezuela, Somalia, Yemen etc. that don’t give a shit about peace and harmony.
In history, has any other nation been allowed to forward deploy this much firepower in this many nations? People hate that USA is the ‘police of the world’ but again what other empire in history did other sovereign nations allow another nations troops and equipment to be deployed? As soon as Soviet Union collapsed the eastern block raced to join nato and get nato troops and equipment stationed.
If people don't like that the US Military is "The police of the world", then they only have their own leaders to blame, they are the ones who agreed, right after WW2, the the US would carry that weight while Europe rebuilt themselves and got their economies back in shape, and the US would be a primary trading partner in compensation. Yes, it was a deal, a service agreement, and all those EU Countries wanted it and were very happy. But now everyone likes to forget that deal, they like to forget how quickly their countries became comfortable while US Service Members were living the dream out training in the snow and rain, because that's when real training always happens. How about you ask the Germans how they feel right now watching Russia beat down Ukraine, with Belarus already a puppet. Ask the Polish if they feel secure right now and if they would be happy for the US to leave their country. Of course you are going to infer that I'm in favor of US involvement in Ukraine, I am not. I don't think it's a mystery why ex WARSAW Pact nations were eager to join NATO after the collapse, and I really don't think you do either. The differences between the 1st World and 2nd World were hard not to see.
@@Creaserunner TY, I don't think I was being that nice, you're generous, but it does remind me to try and be nicer. I should be, sometimes I try, and I fall too often. Be a better example is what I should be.

The initially Norwegian army in the North was supposed to hold out for 48 hours+ before they start to pull back and rendezvous with main bulk of the Norwegian army (back then Norway could mobilize 350.000 between army and Home Guard and a uncertain numbers of reservse (today 170.000)). When the Norwegian army was fully mobilized after 48-72 hours with US marines in some position, first then will Norway go on the offensive
Norway (and now Finland) are expected to withstand against an invasion force for 30 days until they get reinforcements and their allies ramp up wartime industry. Plus, Marines of any kind, especially the Norwegian Royal Marines are nothing to fool around about as they are acclimated to surviving and fighting in the frosty environment of the arctic circle night and day.
When we go we'll go with more than 15k. That stock may just equip enough to hold a small port/ beach landing.
Why do we show our military assets to the WORLD? When we need them, they will not be available. I served.
It is meant to be a narcissistic form of intimidation; it's also called the ice-berg effect that is just the tip of what is stored-and those locations have been disclosed as decoy target sites for our enemies - the other 5 duplicate sites and locations are classified and top-secret.
NATO is only appearing weak as they seem too instill a false confidence in our enemies ( BRICS ) so they attack us, then we can destroy them and save the USA reserve currency and remain in control of the rest of the world.
Show of force and just in case
It won't be a force when they get preemptively striked because RUclips and war thunder are giving away shit for free @@donotthecat6075
The vehicles aren't going to work anyway 😂
Because this way your enemy will think twice before attacking, insthead you suffering damages and death due to enemy's misconception of power
"Classified" but you just pin located the place for us all.
Declasified material, does anyone really think that secret storage would be published publicly
It looks like the US has been doing their maintenance on their equipment. Danm it looks brand new all of it.
its likely a new development. we havent even been keeping up on our own equipment that we actually use for years...
秘密のガレージな感じが好き
what a waste of taxpayers money !!! there should be an investigation and heavy punishment for this waste of money ; while the country is flodded with illegals, crime and infrastructure coming apart, social services lacking !! absolutely sickening !!!!
Its said "once you show your secreets "the revels" is easy to locate by the enimies "
When Canada refused to do its NATO job the USMC had to pick up the mission in the Cold War in Norway.
Yeah, Canada would be perfect to back up the Nordics. What’s wrong with them?
Canada has a habit of not paying their bills and flaking from their responsibikities. We are constantly dealing with their liberal bullshit. Texas oklahoma these places cannot stand canada its essentually nazi germany to us. To me as an american i see canada as a failed country designwd to competr with usa over land disputes since the begging. Theyve been in the way since the bwggining. George washington was literally going west and he huts the missisipi its filled with frenchmen he went to war and beat them back to canada where they also didnt belong. Then after washington they had to go to war against the spanish mexicans to get to california. A shithole today. Anyway, then we didntnhave alaska the corrupt french canadians had it but then russia was claiming it was theres also. So they gave it to us and we paid russia to stay in their side of the diomedes in their bad financial period because of the ussr collapse. So canada cant defend from russia or china mainly russia. They cant defend themselves. They banned guns you need a permit for a bear gun its a.full blown permission slip requiring order following tyranny bro on the bordee of montana. How can such socially nice people be so anti rights. The less gun rights canada gets the easier it will be for usa to buy or take places like yukon and northern territories,.whuch frankly should be usa. Canada doesnt protect their own airspace. We have to. They dont do much besides hog land and volunterily give up rights. At least mant. Not all not all. A lot in fact there they can hardly believe the taliban has more gun rights than them. They need a permit for a bear gun and no self defense guns at all despite usa being the supermassice armed sheild geographically protecting them from russia mexico. The canadians really admire the frency but not usa. I mean france teams with usa a lot but france didnt want canada to exist 😂 spain neither none of them wanter usa or canada to exist. Florida has all these spanish named not spanish from mexico spaniah from spain back in the 1600s 1700s when they were warring over the land before it became usa and canada or even mexico. Mexico is worse than canada even today though. You respect their way of living the food, but its cartels homelands really it would be better if usa owmed mexico theyre sorta like two beligerent children this canada and mexico. Usa.itself is way ahead of them both
@@fishy2939 I agree NATO should not exist. Let Europe pay for its own defense.
After Norway refused to help them in Helmand, Afghanistan? Understandable.
I would bet the Google Maps Part with exact Locations wasn‘t in the official TV Docu?
Sites like these are all over europe...
I participated in ReForGer '84, coming from CONUS, we had nothing but our personal gear and weapons, we went to a POMCUS site, drew our vehicles, trucks, APC's, IFV's, tanks whatever we needed and off to the field we went...
IF russia thinks they going to take on europe, they need to think again...
Eastward bound. Well played RU.
USA Military Channel: You can't say they're classified.
oh wow the excercise reforger stuff was stored here before was it not ?
Cover blown?!?
Watching from Ontario Canada 😮
Come get it ... 😂
USMC used to have M1s there a couple of years ago, but they brought them home and are not supposed to use them anymore. I think that may be a little bit of a mistake. While they may not be useful in a Taiwan conflict, they would certainly be if war broke out here in Norway.
why war will broke out in Norway ? I`m missing something ?
@@teodorachim4757 Right they can't beat Ukraine maybe be NICE make $$$....
Wouldn’t be surprised we have a garage sale for Ukraine.
Thank you for sharing. But, I’m sure most of the world knows about this.
I predict in the future that these motor vehicles will be used on Norway's streets by 2025
Those stupid DRASH tents once that thing gets unpacked it’s impossible to fit it back in it’s case
... but we can't "afford" to have Healthcare for everyone in the US....
So some marines happen to be deployed to Norway and some are sent to middle east? Damn thats bad luck
man i would love to just visit there and just look at all the beautiful american machines, love from sweden , "yes i know im close but i dont think they want a civilians climbing around thier military hardware"
Почему то я уверен, что в Норвегии с её горами запрятано, гораздо больше чем тут показывают.
A preppers heaven!
Wow a whole 30 days sustainability.
Plenty of animals and fish to eat over here. Last of your concerns for sure.
it's enough times, for additional reinforcement and supply from USA. US military would have supply's send over withing 15+days.
Each one of those pins is a target for a nuke in a preemptive attack
I understand something about what we have hidden across the continents good things is there is no actuall location being told with coordinates
These locations have been known for 40 years. I can give you post address for them if you want!
Move out guys you got it!!
Is there something we should know?
Like why is this all here
its the same concept as a ghost city in china, retired equipment goes here, classified but shown to the world, in the hope that it will draw fire rather somewhere that is classified
Now the front line of NATO just skipped two countries East it will be interesting to see if the dynamics changes, a lot of that heavy kit is well suited to rocky and mountainous Norway where the Enemy will be forced through Alpine valleys. France and Britain put a lot boots on the ground early in WW2 even with Norwegians help the Germans pushed up quickly and repelled them.
That said through bogs, marshes and lakes of the vast Swedish and Finish interiors where Marines still operate a wide front maybe needs hand over to the Army and NATO allies to step up. It would suggest the service best suited to this theatre of Operations would be the Armies Airborne divisions, who can penetrate deep and with drones and shoulder mounted kit play havoc with any advancing Russia forces. Russia in the Soviet era struggle to bring its military might through this part of the world. I’ve always thought Britain never challenged the Swedes dominating this region through the centuries because it’s vast and difficult to penetrate like Canada. It’s as much a Balwark region for the Russians as it is for the British with neither historic power in the region, keeping the status quo suited both. It is concerning they both joined NATO but understandable after Ukraine. Moscow’s gains and loses in this misadventure just don’t stack up for any side.
It’s a bit like the uk over in Canada on a place called batus same sort of thing been over there for 40 odd years but it’s not in a cave tho
すげぇ...💦まさに秘密基地感、好きw🇺🇸💪
As a Norwegian i'm embarrassed that our military is so small and weak that we are 100% reliant on our allies to be able to defend ourselves. We have the money, but our politicians unfortunately don't see the value of safety....
Sorry, you seem like a person out of touch with reality, and sense of economy. Norway IS !!!! small, and weak compared to Russia, no matter how one twist and turn it. And WHY on earth should Norway attempt spend all their money to try match Russia millitary (and it would likely been far from enough), when they can be a part of a group, NATO, where several countries in common will coperate and put in a part for the benefit of all????
@@Rimrock300 What are money worth if you don't have freedom? I have never said that we should have the same military as Russia, but I mean we should have a military that is strong enough to defend our country for long enough time for the population to evacuate and our allies to come for our aid. This means being able to hold the enemy back for about 1 month, something we are not able to today. We also have a 2% of gdp for military spending as a commitment to NATO. This need to be fulfilled and I think it should be raised to 3% as soon as possible.
Whats with the white straps on the legs?
Dobrý den,budeme rádi,když to těm norům vůbec půjde nastartovat,protože když každý týden vidím ty odstavenená porouchaná vozidla US Army, tak je mi z toho smutno.Nevyrábějme vojenskou techniku,mějme se rádi a žijme spolu v souladu!
And just how is that working out for the Ukrainians? IMO, it’s shit talk like this that gets a lot of people killed. Lots of evil in this world (see) North Korea, Russia, China, Iran, Isis, Syria, Venezuela, Somalia, Yemen etc. that don’t give a shit about peace and harmony.
No secret, seen this a long time ago. Easy target.
Russia: thanks for the complete lack of opsec. The pins are helpful.
Entering coordinates
Ball too the wall power shift. Trucks.
If the Soviets invade southern Europe, they may go through Norway during the winter?
That's why they built it, marines were rotating through similar to the way they do in Australia, so this was how they would equip them
not classified. whats classified is the advanced technology hidden deep inside some of these and other mountains
Cave facility this hummer military 🎉
Great
It's not classified anymore
Come get it ... 😂
@@sandman75sandman97 💵💵💵nah.
Of course it is. Classified does not mean 'secret' here. It means among else it's highly guraded and taken care of, as it is of high importance
No. RUclips could care less about divulging anything that can be useful to our enemies.
In history, has any other nation been allowed to forward deploy this much firepower in this many nations? People hate that USA is the ‘police of the world’ but again what other empire in history did other sovereign nations allow another nations troops and equipment to be deployed? As soon as Soviet Union collapsed the eastern block raced to join nato and get nato troops and equipment stationed.
If people don't like that the US Military is "The police of the world", then they only have their own leaders to blame, they are the ones who agreed, right after WW2, the the US would carry that weight while Europe rebuilt themselves and got their economies back in shape, and the US would be a primary trading partner in compensation. Yes, it was a deal, a service agreement, and all those EU Countries wanted it and were very happy. But now everyone likes to forget that deal, they like to forget how quickly their countries became comfortable while US Service Members were living the dream out training in the snow and rain, because that's when real training always happens. How about you ask the Germans how they feel right now watching Russia beat down Ukraine, with Belarus already a puppet. Ask the Polish if they feel secure right now and if they would be happy for the US to leave their country.
Of course you are going to infer that I'm in favor of US involvement in Ukraine, I am not. I don't think it's a mystery why ex WARSAW Pact nations were eager to join NATO after the collapse, and I really don't think you do either. The differences between the 1st World and 2nd World were hard not to see.
@@piperp9535 nicely said.
@@Creaserunner TY, I don't think I was being that nice, you're generous, but it does remind me to try and be nicer. I should be, sometimes I try, and I fall too often. Be a better example is what I should be.
I dont get why they dont repaint those humvees, its not like Europe is the desert
Thanks! It is not so "classified" anymore!
Stil thincking in war?? Oh my God ,educate this low vibrational creatures , fill them with love and peace❤.
How many places like this are around the world? Who pays for this? That's a dumb question! I think the little sleds are cute though. Do they each have a dog to pull it? I bet they do the pulling, that's good.
15,000 US troops? how much junk food does need! 0_0
Very nice😂😂😂
Now...why not giving the location ?😂😂😂
see yall there :P
Not so classified now that we put it on social media blast.
They were all put there because the Earth's Crust will be shifting South-West when The Planet Nibiru passes the Earth real soon :(
Amateurs talk tactics while the pros talk logistics.
Tanks and truck away! And other Vehicles
Alot of these troops need new boots
Jeg tror ammunisjonen er viktigere enn en kjøretøy
Not too CLASSIFIED,
IS IT ?
😂😂😂😂😂
Sure is. What's inside is important and well guarded, not accessable to whomever (as it is classified stuff) The location hs never been a secret
