#NORDEFCO is extremely potent; they've put together a badass alliance.

Building a Standing Training Ecosystem for NORDEFCO | Ken-Tore Saade Eriksen Over the past month, I have published a four-part series on Nordic and NORDEFCO synthetic training — moving from strategic framing to concrete architecture. It started with the broad question of whet...

Four articles. One argument: NORDEFCO's standing training ecosystem can be built within 2–3 years. The components exist. The budgets are there. What's missing is the decision.

US Army has selected Battle Road as its next-gen constructive simulation.
Compelling interoperability argument for Nordic adoption. HLA-compliant? No.

Until that changes, Battle Road doesn't qualify. So, JCATS or MASA Sword?

Nordic live instrumented training is fully interoperable, all Nordic nations run Saab GAMER. Norway's P5066 project could protect it or fracture it .

Building a Standing Training Ecosystem for NORDEFCO A standing training ecosystem for NORDEFCO forces is achievable in two to three years. The architecture exists. What is missing is the political decision.

Nordic defence training is episodic — brilliant for two or three weeks per exercise, then dismantled. That is not a training system.

The case for a standing NORDEFCO LVC architecture — and why now is the moment:

Puolustusministeri Häkkänen: Pohjolaan yhteisoperaatioihin kykenevät ilmavoimat The Nordic countries have deepened their cooperation since November last year when they signed a letter of intent on harmonised military mobility corridors in the Nordic region. “We are off to a good start and will continue our efforts as a matter of urgency,” Häkkänen said.

Main topic was the Nordic defense cooperation #NORDEFCO, and Nordics' continued support for #Ukraine 🇺🇦, air operations and defense industry.

Sweden Has the Tanks. Finland Has the Troops. Welcome to the Pan-Nordic Army. Nordic countries are pooling resources to counter Russia amid uncertain security guarantees from Trump’s White House.

The Nordics have combined their air forces, establishing a Joint Nordic Air Command in 2023. Last year they set out a vision for common #defense through 2030 under the #Nordic Defense Cooperation, or #Nordefco.

Yes!

There is the existing Nordic Council, and NORDEFCO. But we need a more broad alliance.

Maybe #Nordefco should look into one or two of these to be more independent

Nordic Defence Cooperation: a response to geopolitical uncertainty The Nordic defence alliance has entered a transformative phase with the implementation of Vision 2030, marking a significant step in European and regional military cooperation. Since its signing in April last year, the Nordic Defence Cooperation (NORDEFCO) has been advancing its strategic objectives, focusing on operational readiness and joint military capabilities. Strengthening NATO’s defence and deterrence…

Nordic Defence Ministers strengthen military cooperation under Vision 2030, reinforcing NATO’s defence and supporting Ukraine.

Caro @ruimartins.bsky.social isso já existe⬇️⬇️⬇️ o q se precisava de operacionalizar era um Exército da União Europeia com politicas integradas e não só ao abrigo da NATO, como aliás a #NORDEFCO faz, nem q houvessem quatro comandos - Norte, Leste, Centro e Sul-Mediterrâneo - sob um único.

Nordic Countries Unite Against Russian "Threat" The defense ministers of Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Norway signed Vision 2030, a steering document on Nordic defence cooperation going forward.

#Greenland is protected by the 🇪🇺 union trought the Common Security and Defence Policy and the #NordicCouncil - that is an #inter-parliamentary Nordic cooperation among the Nordic countries - throughout #NORDEFCO those defence organizations dont need the US to defend Greenland from others!!!

Like the #CAFP, the paper emphasizes strengthening ties with #Nordiccountries and aims to enhance Canada’s connections and capacities within certain frameworks/organizations : #NORDEFCO, @jfcnorfolk.bsky.social , #CCASCOE, #NAC-NATO), alongside the planned investments in the #ArcticCouncil.

When it comes to France's will to cooperate with its #Nordefco partners, the planned participation of 10 Rafale and 6 Mirage 2000 in Arctic Challenge 2019 speaks for itself. #fofrk

Glad to see the MoDs of #Nordefco underlining how Nordefco has not only a regional purpose but is also a platform for wider cooperation, be it in Mali or when engaging with other European groupings such as #EI2.
