Maj. Roy Skogstad (left) and Maj. Geir Terje Gossmann, both officers in the Norwegian military and from the Marine Corps Prepositioning Program-Norway, tour the USS Rushmore in San Diego April 22.  Ten Norwegian service members were given a familiarization tour that was in direct support of the prepositioning program and fulfilled Headquarters Marine Corps’ reciprocal U.S.–Norway bilateral responsibility to host an annual tour. It officially began April 20 with a trip to the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in Twentynine Palms, Calif., then moved to Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton April 21. The following day the Norwegian service members visited the USS Rushmore and Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego April 22.  The tour ended at Blount Island Command in Jacksonville, Fla., a hub for Marine Corps prepositioning that coordinates and directs the maintenance and equipment rotation effort and conducts quality assurance on prepositioned equipment and supplies.
