The Structure of the Norwegian Army has seen considerable change over the years. In 2009, the Army introduced the new command and control organization. As of June 2021 the army is organized as follows:[1]
The Chief of the Army and the Army Staff are based in Bardufoss, Northern Norway.
Brigade Nord (lit. 'Brigade North') is the largest unit in the Norwegian Army. The Brigade has several battalions across Norway, including Telemark Battalion at Camp Rena, eastern Norway. One unnamed Armoured Battalion is under raising.
A SHORAD battery unit is under establishment in the artillery battalion, expected to be operative in 2024.[2][3]
Finnmark Land Command (Finnmark Landforsvar), in Porsangmoen[4][5][6] is in charge of safeguarding Norway's northernmost land territories and the land border to Russia. It is a joint command, including an army staff and army and Home Guard units. It is decided to convert Finnmark Land Command to a brigade.
Norwegian Army Land Warfare Centre (Hærens våpenskole), in Terningmoen and Rena[1][4]
The Army's special forces unit Forsvarets Spesialkommando (FSK) is no longer part of the army. With the establishment of the Norwegian Special Operations Command in 2014, Norway's two special forces units (FSK and Marinejegerkommandoen) were united under the one command in the Norwegian Armed Forces, with the Air Force's 339 Special Operations Aviation Squadron at Rygge Air Station joining later as the SOC's air force component.[9][10][11]
