Danish Task Group
Tactical command of high-level naval operations
Danish Task Group
Danish Task Group consists of approximately 20 personnel with a diverse range of experience and competencies. They primarily operate from Naval Base Korsoer, but personnel are frequently on the move during their duties.
Tasks
Danish Task Group staff can plan, execute, and evaluate naval operations at the tactical level within both national and international contexts. Danish Task Group activities include crisis management, peacekeeping, peacemaking operations, and core armed conflict tasks. The Danish Task Group can swiftly lead naval forces in exercises and operations at a tactical level. The Danish Task Group staff can be deployed worldwide and take charge of international maritime missions, usually involving a small naval group of 4-5 frigates and a replenishment tanker.
When not engaged in specific operations, the staff develop doctrines and other principles that support the Danish Armed Forces' maritime activities, in cooperation with the Navy at large. Finally, the Task Group conducts relevant exercise planning, scenarios (war-gaming), as well as classes and lectures at the Navy's centres and other Danish Armed Forces educational institutions.
