Officers from the Swedish Armed Forces arrived in Greenland on January 14, 2026, as part of a multinational group from allied countries to prepare upcoming steps in the Danish exercise Operation Arctic Endurance, at Denmark's request, according to the Swedish Prime Minister's office on X over the past 59 minutes. SVT reported that Sweden is sending military personnel to Greenland, while @Maks_NAFO_FELLA on X confirmed Swedish officers' arrival today with allies to support the exercise framework. The deployment aligns with Denmark's discussions with European allies on military reinforcements, as stated by DR, Denmark's public broadcaster, in prior coverage. This follows the Danish Armed Forces vanguard's arrival in Greenland earlier today between 11:46 AM and 12:16 PM UTC, which is coordinating preparations for larger allied forces, according to previous DR reports. The moves come amid a high-level team from Denmark and Greenland traveling to the White House, announced by @DKambUSA on X between 3:16 PM and 3:46 PM UTC today. Swedish Commander-in-Chief Michael Claesson warned earlier between 2:16 PM and 3:16 PM UTC that the Greenland dispute represents a weakness Russian President Vladimir Putin could exploit. U.S. Rep. Don Bacon shared details of the No Funds for NATO Invasion Act, prohibiting federal funds or actions for invading a NATO member state or Article 5 territory. A European commissioner stated on January 12, per Reuters, that direct U.S. military intervention in Greenland would have serious international security consequences and end NATO.
