Greenland: Danish Forces Evacuate Patient from US Submarine

Danish forces conducted a rescue operation to evacuate a patient from a US submarine located near Nuuk, the capital of Greenland. The patient, a crew member of the submarine, was urgently transported to a hospital in Nuuk by a SeaHawk helicopter. The operation was coordinated by the Danish armed forces command responsible for the Arctic region. The need for immediate medical attention prompted the mobilization of rescue forces. This operation comes shortly after the US announced plans to send a floating hospital to Greenland.
