Updated

I deleted the "51 in Iraq" from deployment, as we have withdrawn all personnel from Iraq. Hope this helps. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.184.77.185 (talk) 18:02, 23 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

LOL

LOL. The Denmark military. As a Danish politician suggested, it should be replaced by an answering machine that says "We surrender" in German. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.151.185.81 (talk) 04:56, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you have a reference it could be inserted in the article. Else your talk contribution will be deleted per criteria for speedy deletion. --Regards, Necessary Evil (talk) 20:01, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It wasn't in german, but russian. Danish source http://nyhederne-dyn.tv2.dk/politik/article.php/id-12692359.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.163.6.141 (talk) 13:29, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also: It was probably only said to provoke the public debate about government spending. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.198.95.58 (talk) 01:29, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Total Defence

Is the Danish Total Defence Concept from the Singaporean one? Could it simply link to Total Defence if we added a note on Denmark to the article? Snapdragonfly 06:50, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Danske Forsvars logo.svg

Image:Danske Forsvars logo.svg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Conscription

Having read the article in an attempt to find out whether Denmark has mandatory conscription, I found this part to be unclear: "The standard mandatory conscription is modified." Modified how? Is it mandatory or not? Mac Dreamstate (talk) 19:37, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Technically all Danish 18-years old males are conscripts (37,897 in 2010), and 53 % (2010) were considered suitable for duty[1]. There is no need for all of them so only a few of them serve (5129 in 2010). 91 % of the conscripts were volunteers. There were additionally 567 female "conscripts" in 2010[2].

Conscripts in the Royal Life Guards serve 8 months[3], because it's preferable to have conscripts guarding the Queen.

Conscripts in the horse squadron of the Guard Hussars serve 12 months, because it takes time to learn how to ride a horse.

Conscripts in the Danish army in general serve 4 months.

Conscripts on the majesty's yacht Dannebrog serve 9 months[4].

Conscripts in the Danish navy in general serve 4 months.

Conscripts in the Danish air force serve 4 months[5].

Conscripts in the Danish Emergency Management Agency serve 6 months [6].

Sorry, I don't have any English sources. --Regards, Necessary Evil (talk) 22:52, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, that's made it a lot clearer for me. I would suggest adding parts of that explanation to the article so that everyone else can understand, too. I do believe Danish sources can be used, as long as it's mentioned somewhere within the ref that the language is Danish. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 00:55, 3 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Danish Armed Forces in 1989

I expanded the Allied Forces Baltic Approaches article with all the info about the Danish army, navy and air force in 1989 that I could find. I am sure the info about the army and air force is correct, however I could not find information about the assignment of ships in the Navy. The only info about the Navy I did find is a complete list of all the ships of the navy in 1989. But what about squadrons and flotillas? What ships were assigned to which squadron? I would like to find information as i.e. with the German navy here: Commander German North Sea Subarea. If anyone has information, please feel free to either add it directly to the article or leave it on my talk page. Thanks, noclador (talk) 17:31, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Title in English is a Poor translation.

The English version of the Danish military website uses the title 'The Danish Armed Forces'. It makes more sense in English grammar than 'Danish Defence'. Orangehaggis (talk) 14:48, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
