Corporal Jack Eastman didn’t know why he got picked to be part of the small force of Canadian soldiers that got sent too Oslo in spring 2021, a “Volunteer” crew sent to assist with efforts to evacuate Canadian Government and civilian personnel stuck in Norway but shortly after arrival it would become clear this mission was not going to proceed as planned.
Jack had been sent in with 3 others as a 4-man team, an officer and NCO to sort out logistics and planning and Eastman and another Cpl as workers on the ground getting people where they needed to go, at least that’s how it was supposed to go. Rather abruptly after the team got on ground commercial travel was shut down and the military wasn’t about to divert resources to play air or cruise line so all the team could do is move and direct people to refugee camps and provide them with contact info for once the restrictions lifted and quickly, they couldn’t even move themselves without escort.
You could say the mission was scrubbed when the Canadian government was dissolved in November, but I’d say it was the night Oslo Burned and the Lt couldn’t accept that his position there was untenable, Eastman barely made it out of the city as the fires cut him off from his team still stuck at the port. After getting out of the city and with no way to contact his command Eastman decided he'd make his way to his last hope for survival or rescue in Norway, Nyheim
