The Norwegian Home Guard (Heimevernet – HV) is the rapid
mobilization force within the Norwegian armed forces. Its main focus is local
defence and civil support, but it can also detach volunteers for international
operations. Its main tasks are safeguarding territorial integrity, strengthening
military presence, and protecting important infrastructure.
It has land
defence units, and has volunteers and conscript personnel with backgrounds from
all branches. Founded 6 December 1946, it is the second youngest branch in the
Norwegian armed forces.
Flag of the Norwegian Home Guard is black with
its emblem in the center of the flag. The emblem is the yellow abbreviation
flanked by green wreath and topped with Norwegian crown.
