Brigade Nord

Brigade Nord is a complete, tactical joint system that has the overall command, ensuring cooperation and effectiveness across the battalions.The reason for a fourth maneuver battalion stated by the Armed Forces is a NATO requirement four combat battalions in the combat brigades of the organisation, but in the words of Lt.-Col. Espen Strande, the army's chief public communications officer, the army has the sufficient armament and equipment for only two.[11] A tender for new main battle tanks for the army is in progress with the 2A7 version of the German Leopard 2 currently operated and the South Korean K2 Black Panther as the two contenders for the order.In 1951, the Norwegian Parliament adopted a three-year building program, in order to be able to house the brigade soldiers and officers.As a result of the parliaments's introduction of a new army system in 1953, the standing brigades were to be made up of conscripted soldiers in their initial service.Parts of the brigade were therefore on high alert for long periods of time, down to 30 minutes, in order to meet an attack.Throughout its existence, the brigade was central to the training and education of Norwegian army soldiers and units, from all types of troops.The soldiers were trained in basic military skills while practicing under the special and demanding conditions in Northern Norway.
