Because something is worth fighting for

In the Armed Forces, we fight for Denmark's security.

 

We have the courage, the ability, and the will to fight for the national community and for the core values on which our society rests.

 

We solve tasks for Denmark that no one else can solve. We do it every day and we do it when something extraordinary is required.

 

We are proud to take care of the Kingdom of Denmark. We do it jointly. And sometimes we do it when lives are at stake.

 

We do it because it's part of our military identity.

 

We do it because something is worth fighting for.
