Exercise Arctic Fox 24, abbreviated ARCFOX24, was a WEDA-led military exercise alongside the ANS held in Greater Normark and New Anea in June and July 2024 with a collective defense scenario under the Trilateral Strategic Security Dialogue (TRI). The exercise was the largest of its kind in Greater Normark since the 1980s. An expected 50,000 participants from 31 nations partook, including 10,000 vehicles, 250 aircraft and 65 vessels. The exercise was mainly held in the Northern Ocean islands of Større Løye and Nordøyene, in addition to air and sea areas. The stated goal of Arctic Fox was to train and to test the alliance's defense capability and ability to operate in cold weather and difficult terrain.
