The Intension of Inventing a New Retention Policy for the Danish Armed Forces

Submitted by Henning on

In spite of the establishment of

- a veteran- or retention policy for soldiers in the other Scandinavian countries,

- a more military active foreign policy by Denmark than by the other Nordic countries with the result of more casualties for Danish soldiers than their Nordic colleagues and

- a broad public support for Danish veteran soldiers (commemoration day, soldier foundations and interest groups, etc.),

the official Denmark had not yet decided a comprehensive plan on how to handle our returned soldiers from duties abroad in international military missions.
