US EditionNATO launches Arctic Sentry military effort as it seeks to move on from Greenland dispute
NATO's Arctic Sentry mission aims to enhance deterrence and defense by coordinating surveillance, exercises, and assets amid rising Russian and Chinese activity, officials said.
- 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.
