Nordic Battlegroup
The Nordic Battlegroup (NBG) is one of eighteen European Union Battlegroups. It consists of around 2,800 soldiers including officers with manpower contributed from the five participating countries (Sweden, Finland, Norway, Ireland and Estonia). The military strategic command of the force is done in cooperation with the United Kingdom.[2] Denmark has opted-out of the Common Foreign and Security Policy pillar of the EU, hence all battlegroups. Norway has negotiated an opt-in to participate, even though it is not an EU Member State.
