    From the Danish Broadcasting Corporation (Danish public-service radio and television broadcasting company, Danish BBC if you want)

    When Danish soldiers last week, according to DR News, received an order to be ready for battle if Greenland were to be attacked, a request was also sent to their defense colleagues in Sweden.

    This is reported by the Swedish media SVT.

    The military operation that last week’s order to the Danish soldiers deals with is still taking place in Greenland under the exercise name ‘Arctic Endurance’.

    The request to the Swedish defense colleagues and the Swedish government came at the beginning of last week. And at very short notice, the Swedish defense leadership chose to participate in the operation with a handful of planning officers. This happened after a dialogue with the Swedish government.

    The Swedish defense says that it is currently conducting an analysis of what the Swedish officers have collected in Greenland so far.

    – The intention is that we will participate in the upcoming Danish exercises, and we will of course continue to act based on Denmark’s wishes with how and when Sweden will participate, says press officer Jonas Beltrame-Linné according to the media.

    *Received live ammunition*

    Since Wednesday last week, both military and civilian aircraft have systematically transported soldiers and equipment from Denmark to Greenland.

    The order that the Danish defense received describes a military operation in several phases, where there is a possibility of sending even more soldiers and military capacity to Greenland.

    According to DR’s information, the operation has been planned for some time, but spread over the entire year. But suddenly the operation was rapidly advanced so that more personnel and military capacity could leave faster.

    The soldiers who have arrived in Greenland have also been equipped with live ammunition.

    This is so-called KUP ammunition, which the individual soldier or unit must have close to them, so that they can immediately take up the fight if necessary.

    DR News has presented the information to the Ministry of Defense, but they refuse to comment on “allegations about the content of any confidential documents”.

    – The purpose of the increased Danish presence is solely to exercise together with allied forces under the unique Arctic conditions in Greenland, the ministry states.

    The ministry adds that ‘Arctic Endurance’ will continue throughout 2026 “both on land, at sea and in the air”.

    *Political support*

    It was only on Wednesday that President Donald Trump said that he would not use force against Greenland.

    – I do not have to use force. I do not want to use force. I won’t use force.

    But even though neither the government nor the opposition considered it likely that the US would attack Greenland militarily, both they and the Defence had prepared for the worst possible scenario.

    Therefore, DR can also learn that there was widespread political will to take up the fight if an American attack were to occur.

    Not only in the Danish government, but also in a wide range of red and blue opposition parties.

    Operation ‘Arctic Endurance’ also includes vanguard troops and soldiers from European allies in NATO, including Sweden, Norway, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.

    Their contribution to the operation led President Donald Trump to threaten them all – and Denmark – with punitive tariffs over the weekend. Threats that were, however, called off after Donald Trump’s speech and meetings on Wednesday.

    Fun fact: “kup” means coup in Danish; this is ammunition reserved specifically for coup d’etats or foreign invasions.

    With all their 62 fierce, loyal soldiers from House Mormont?😂
    Putler can nuke them anytime from the open, undefended North but they prepare to defend a frozen wasteland against their own NATO ally, who’s got a larger and more effective force than the whole EU combined.
    Absolute joke nations.

    It might be a good idea to build a base up there. We can train soldiers in artic warfare which might come in handy in the future.
