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 April 2025 the army is organized as follows:[1]
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 Brigade
Finnmark Brigade (Finnmarksbrigaden), 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 was converted from the Finnmark Land Command (Finnmark Landforsvar) on 20 August 2025.[7]
Logistic Regiment (Trenregimentet), in Bardufoss[1] - logistics, supply
Weapons Technical Regiment (Våpenteknisk Regiment), in Helgelandsmoen - material maintenance and storage[1][10]
Military Police Regiment (Militærpolitiregimentet), in Rena
Special forces
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.[11][12][13]
