Modern Norwegian
Norway
A small army with no combat experience but very capable in arctic and sub-arctic warfare. All troops should be considered ski capable. In war this army would have been re-enforced with a Canadian Mechanized Brigade (1stCanadian Brigade was slated) and the British Royal Marine Brigade to form the hard shoulder of the Northern Flank of NATO. Type 90 units are Regular Army brigades (there is currently 1) and Type 78 units are Reserve Mobilization Brigades (There are currently 10). Additionally, there are 22 ski equipped local defense battalions that have some partisan training. 1 Armored, 1 Mechanized and 2 Motorized brigades would form the 6th Division. Additionally, there are 7 independent infantry battalions; the Royal Guards, 2 Fortress units and 4 motorized units. There is a plan afoot to create 2 armored brigades of 2 tank battalions, 2 Mechanized Infantry brigades, 2 Motorized Infantry Brigades.
