Flygeledertjenesten

Flygeledertjenesten, also known as the Air Force Reserve, is a reserve component of the Norwegian Air Force. It was established in 1950 and plays a crucial role in the Norwegian military's overall defense strategy. The Air Force Reserve consists of personnel who are called up for active duty in times of war or crisis, while also maintaining their civilian jobs and training on a regular basis.

The primary mission of the Air Force Reserve is to provide additional manpower and resources to the Norwegian Air Force in times of need. This includes conducting aerial reconnaissance, search and rescue operations, and supporting ground forces. The reserve also plays a significant role in disaster relief and humanitarian missions.

Personnel in the Air Force Reserve are required to undergo regular training and fitness assessments to ensure they are ready for active duty. They are equipped with the same aircraft and equipment as the regular Air Force, and undergo the same level of training. The Air Force Reserve is an important part of Norway's defense strategy, providing a flexible and responsive force that can be called upon when needed.
