POTD: Norwegian Army Goes Subway

    Norwegian Army Goes Subway

    The number of internet users worldwide has passed the 5-billion mark, reaching almost 60% of the global population. Our world has never been so connected. Great photos can spread like wildfire, but the story and the necessary context sometimes get left behind. But not here, in our Photo Of The Day, we will always accompany the images with a background and credits to the maker. Today we’re visiting the subway of Oslo (Tunnelbane). The network comprises five lines, all passing through the city center, covering a combined distance of 85 kilometers.

    Here we can see the Norwegian armed forces, as they conduct courses in military operations in urban terrain (MOUT) to train new instructors. There is also a collaboration with Oslo municipality and the emergency services.

    The Telemark Battalion (see patch) is a mechanized infantry battalion of the Norwegian Army.

    We hope you liked that. Please check back tomorrow for a new bunch of articles, reviews and images.
