Brigade Nord commands most of the operational units of the Army, with the exception of the royal guards of the His Majesty The King's Guard, the Garrison of Sør-Varanger, the Porsanger Battalion, and the electronic warfare and military intelligence Intelligence Battalion. As the army no longer has any air defence capabilities, it relies on the NASAMS missile units of the Royal Norwegian Air Force for air defence. The Army's special forces unit Hærens Jegerkommando is no longer part of the army. With the establishment of the Norwegian Special Operation Forces the Jegerkommando left the army and changed its name to Forsvarets Spesialkommando.
