Northern Nordic Military Leaders Gathered to Bolster Cooperation The commanders of Norway, Finland and Sweden's northern brigades and home guard forces recently met in Troms, Northern Norway, to forge even closer ties. “This cooperation significantly improves our defense capabilities in the North,” says Terje Bruøygard, Commander of the Norwegian Brigade North.
Kick-Off in the North for the Norwegian Army's Biggest Exercise This Fall Today, the Norwegian Army, and the Norwegian Brigade Nord in particular, will commence the Arctic Bolt exercise in Troms. In total, around 3500 Army soldiers and 200 Home Guard soldiers will take part.
Extra Funding Enables the Norwegian Home Guard Train More Than In Previous Years New funds from the government allow Norwegian Home Guard soldiers to train more than in previous years. Training the Home Guard to a greater extent has been one of the most essential measures to better facilitate for receiving allied troops, says State Secretary Bent-Joacim Bentzen.
