[edit] Article name

As this page from the Norwegian Army gives the name in English to be Royal Norwegian Army I propose a move to that name. Inge 13:32, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Units

Porting what I have written in the talk page for the Norwegian Defence Force.

Well, June month's issue of RAIDS, a French language military review, dedicates an article to Norway's military. Here are some scans, with translations, of the tables:

Norwegian Army - according to the article, the 6th reserve brigade shall be dismantled under the Army 2008 reform plan. ISTAR stands for "Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance".

Norwegian Air Force

In both cases, sorry for the bad quality of images, but I am not really skilled in using skanners and Photoshop. There is also a table of the Navy, but it says that the near entirety of the Navy is regrouped at Bergen and that a Battalion of "Rangers" is under the Navy command. The Coast Guard is said to have 21 flotillas (based at Harstad and Haakonsvern) and a battalion of "Coastal Rangers". Russoswiss 01:34, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Some information from a "local".

The Army's Logistic Education and Competence Centre (LOGUKS) at Sessvollmoen Camp is renamed "Forsvarets Kompetansesenter Logistikk (FKL)", which loosely translates into "Defence Centre of Logistic Competence". It is currently an independent, joint asset (common for all services), and should be considered to be deleted from the army-article alltoghether.--80.143.242.118 (talk) 19:46, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AG-3

The AG-3 rifle is a battle rifle, not an assault rifle; it's 'full calibre', rather than the smaller 'intermediate calibre' required to designate it as an assault rifle. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.142.50.212 (talk) 23:37, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

The HMKG Boot Camp is no longer located at Rena, it has been moved to Terningmoen —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.109.76.218 (talk) 22:32, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
