Speaking of Greenland, this might be the most elite military force in the world.
Sirius Dog Sled Patrol.
A unit of the Danish Navy, these folks, about 14 in all, patrol the wilderness of northeastern Greenland in pairs. With dog sleds. In the dead of winter. Among other things, they are armed with bolt action rifles (1917 Enfield in .30/06).

“The weapons carried also reflect the harsh conditions. Only bolt-action rifles (M17/M53) perform reliably. The standard SIG210 Neuhausen sidearm was recently replaced by the 10mm Glock 20, as the stopping power of multiple 9mm rounds proved to be insufficient against a polar bear.”
