Denmark Post 1980

Denmark is a small nation with a very small military.  The Danes have very little operational experience.  The Danes have no immediate history of military prowess and their capabilities are unknown in real war conditions.  The last time their nation was invaded the government ordered the troops to stay in their barracks, which they did until ordered to surrender by the German occupation authority.  There is one division in the Danish Army – The Jutland Division.
