🇮🇸 Iceland: NATO’s eye in the north 🧭

Iceland is a founding member of NATO, yet maintains no standing army. Aside from the police force, Iceland’s only armed government entities are its coast guard and its crisis response unit, or ICRU, both of which have contributed to NATO exercises at home and abroad, notably in Afghanistan.

Iceland maintains an airbase, managed and run by the Icelandic Coast Guard, which provides support for NATO air surveillance and policing missions in the area.
