The Dancon March is a military march performed by the DANCON (short for Danish Contingent) during missions abroad. The march has been a tradition with the Danish Defence since 1972 when the Royal Danish Army was deployed on Cyprus. The march invites foreign troops, allied with Denmark, to participate in the 25 or 40 km march. Apart from Cyprus, Dancon marches have taken place in Mongolia, Croatia, Kosovo, Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Eritrea, Kuwait, Bosnia, Mali and the Gulf of Aden, United Arab Emirates, The United States of America, Latvia, Estonia, Republic of Korea and United Kingdom.
