Military unit / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Norway achieved full independence in 1905, and in the first century of its short life has had to endure two World Wars, the Cold War and the War on Terror. The Norwegian Army currently operates in the north of Norway and in Afghanistan. The Army is the oldest of the service branches, established as a modern military organization in 1628. The Army participated in wars during the 17th, 18th and 19th century as well, both in Norway and abroad.
