Totalforsvaret
Totalforsvaret, meaning "Total Defence" in English, is a concept central to Danish national security policy. It encompasses the entirety of a society's capabilities and resources that can be utilized during a crisis or war. This includes not only the armed forces but also civilian agencies, infrastructure, the economy, and the population's willingness to contribute. The core idea is that a comprehensive approach, integrating all societal sectors, is necessary for effective defence and resilience.
The concept emphasizes a holistic view where military and civilian efforts are mutually reinforcing. This means
Totalforsvaret is rooted in the understanding that modern threats are multifaceted and can impact society broadly.
