Security Officer at the Army Staff

One of the Army Staff's focus areas is to build the new army. An army that focuses on the army's capability in the field and in this builds new as well as restructuring existing units. At the same time, the Army Staff leads units both nationally and internationally. The Army Staff develops and manages the army's war units and subordinate organizational units consisting of units and schools.

The above, combined with the continued establishment of the Army Staff as a cohesive and unifying force, makes the tasks very varied, developing, and dynamic. We are all solution-focused and take our tasks and responsibilities with great commitment where EVERYTHING for the army is our driving force.

The Army - when and where it matters!
