Recommendations

Hey, guys. I just finished copyediting this article, and I wanted to mention a few things to whomever is in charge here.

The article is generally poorly-written. At times, it was difficult to decipher what the sentences meant, and I'm afraid I might have guessed wrong in the editing sometimes.
I removed a few specifics about soldiers' deaths which are generally considered to be un-PC to mention. For example, I changed 'killed by other Danish soldiers' to 'killed by friendly fire,' because it frankly just sounds nicer and more respectable.
I have not touched the section about Bjarke Kirkmand and the two soldiers honored with The Defence medal for heroic deeds, but I personally believe that it is not relevant and does not belong on the page. While the statements are touching, they are not relevant to knowledge of Dancon/Irak. I would suggest rewording the section to:

>>>The Defence Medal for participation in Iraq has been awarded posthumously to 1st Lieutenant Bjarke Kirkmand's parents. >>>Each commander of Dancon/Irak has also been awarded the Order of the Dannebrog for his service as a commander in Iraq and the Danish Army. >>>Soldiers at Dancon/Irak who have been killed or wounded during their duty have also been awarded The Medal for Killed and Wounded in Service. >>>Furthermore, in May 2005, two Danish soldiers received The Defence Medal for heroic deeds during their tour of duty in Iraq: Sergeant Ole Gretlund and Pfc. Thomas Huusmann, both of Den Kongelige Livgarde. Mysticfeline 22:59, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

End of Mission

The Danish government announced today (Feb 21 2007) that Dancon/Irak 9 will be the last Iraq team and that the larger part of the operation will end in August 2007 when Irak 9 returns home. Cimic in Baghdad is to be reinforced and a helicopter suveilence service is to be established with four helicopters and 50 people. The security of the southern regions of Iraq is to be taken over by Iraqi Army. The Danish military will focus on the ISAF/Taleban war in southern Afghanistan instead (that's the plan now at least) and the government plans to send 400 to 600 soldiers extra to aid ISAF.
