- Partiel
- Zone d’activité générale
- The whole of Denmark, on land, at sea and in the air through its three guards. The Home Guard states that its principal object is to support the armed forces in training, exercises and deployments, that it also supports the police and the customs and tax authorities, and that it provides host-nation support to allied forces and materiel transiting Denmark.
- Historique notable
- The Home Guard is the institutional form of Danish total defence, a volunteer force whose members serve unpaid, published not as a branch of the armed forces but as a separate agency under the ministry with its own command and its own commissioner for recruitment. Its accession-era relevance is the transit role: the alliance’s reinforcement of the Baltic states and the Nordic north crosses Danish territory and waters, and the Home Guard states in its own words that it supports allied forces and material transit through Denmark.
- Points forts
- A standing, published, nationwide volunteer organisation with a host-nation support task written into its own description of itself. For a small professional army, the guard force that frees it from guarding is the thing that makes Danish territory usable as an alliance transit route.
- Limites
- Volunteer and unpaid by design, with membership open from eighteen without military background; the Home Guard is not a manoeuvre force and does not claim to be. Its totals are published and deliberately not carried; its three guards and districts are unauthored; and its legal basis is not set out on the English pages opened.
