The decision was announced by the Minister of Defence, Grete Faremo, shortly after the cabinet session the same day.[2] Lt.Cmdr.

According to the Minister of Defence, Lt.Cmdr Bolle performed "above and beyond the call of duty" on numerous occasions during this period, his leadership was described as "exemplary".
