Nordic battlegroup is a EU-led rapid reaction unit, with Sweden as the lead country. The unit consists of up to 1500 soldiers from Sweden(1100), Finland(200), Norway(150) and Estonia(50). The hq is based in Enköping, Sweden and the management is done by Sweden together with UK in London.
The battlegroups tasks are everything from humanitarian support to terrorist fighting.
It basicly look like this(swedish group):
1. 150 elite troops, 2 CVs arrive to capture and hold an airport.
2. Same time a big ship are being loaded with tanks, artillery, support,supplies.
3. More troops and supplies arrive all the time.
4. Gripens and choppers arrive and make a strength demonstration.
5. The ship arrives and the group are fully operational.
6. Mission accomplished and after forces arrive.
Now I wonder if SAF(Swedish Armed Forces) is capable of this. It is their biggest international thing ever. I belevie this is a bit to much. Especially when it comes to combat situations.
