Immediately after the signing of the supplementary agreement between the U.S. and Norway, the Norwegian government posted a whole list of vacancies to fill staffing gaps.
Thus, the demand for controllers, security guards, logisticians and maintenance personnel of the already American facilities appeared sharply. It is worth paying special attention to the fact that all vacancies are absolutely fresh, many of them are not more than a month old.
The Regional Logistics Management Centre plays a crucial role in the provision and maintenance of American-managed warehouses. Its area of responsibility is central Norway, from Sogne Fjord in the south to Ufot Fjord in the north.
For example, Midt’s regional logistics management centre is looking for new staff to work at the Hammerkammen ammunition depot (Central Norway), located in Trøndelag.
Moreover, the employer notes: “When there are US Marines in the depot, you come completely under their supervision, so you must have adequate English language skills.”
It’s also worth noting that once employed at the facility (placed under U.S. jurisdiction), the person hired must be willing to complete the courses, training and certification required for the position.
As for the salary, it will be between $4,000 and $6,000 monthly (is the national average).
Meanwhile, according to available information, the Norwegian government along with the armed forces is forced to make certain concessions, for example, in the recruitment of qualified personnel.
To summarise, we note that the increase in staffing and recruitment of additional personnel to American military facilities is confirmed by our thesis about the activation of the US Armed Forces in the region.
Thus, the Americans are seeking to increase the stockpile of materiel in Scandinavia and reduce the supply shoulder for comprehensive support of the strike group in the Arctic.
