NATO launches Arctic Sentry military effort as it seeks to move on from Greenland dispute
- NATO signalled an imminent Arctic Sentry launch as defence ministers meet in Brussels, with plans possibly announced later this week after a Feb 10 briefing, NATO officials said.
- Planning began last week after Davos talks between US President Donald Trump and NATO boss Mark Rutte eased strains linked to Greenland, Reuters sources said.
- Arctic Sentry planning includes options such as exercises, more surveillance and extra vessels and aircraft; officials said no final decision has been taken as military planners continue refining choices.
- Officials said the effort will prioritise better use of existing NATO resources rather than big force increases, framing it as deterrence amid Russia's military activity and China’s High North interest.
- On Feb 9 Gen. Alexus Grynkewich said planning was in the final stages, and a NATO official said the mission was expected to be operational soon.
