Utenlandsoperasjoner : ferdigpakket nisjefyll eller militærmakt i løs vekt

Abstract

The main topic of this report is the transformation of The Norwegian Armed Forces and how best to prepare for operations both at home and abroad. The balance between operations abroad and at home is discussed as well as the composition of Norwegian contributions to actual operations. It is argued the Norwegian military contributions abroad today are at a reasonable and sustainable level. However, if it is a political goal to increase the Norwegian military footprint abroad, a transformation is needed both of the force structure and the long term planning process.
