Utstasjonerte

Utstasjonerte is a Norwegian term meaning stationed or deployed, derived from the verb stasjonere. It is used to describe persons, units or equipment that have been assigned to a location for duty, whether on a temporary or longer-term basis. The form functions both as a past participle and as an adjective, and it agrees with the noun it modifies in number and gender (for example, utstasjonert personell in singular and utstasjonerte styrker in plural). It can also appear in finite verb constructions, as in stikkordet ble utstasjonert eller styrkene ble utstasjonert, to indicate that deployment has taken place.

Contexts and usage

The term is common in military, police, and government communication, especially in discussions of international missions, peacekeeping operations, or disaster response where forces or personnel are relocated to a different country or region. It is also used in civilian or corporate contexts to describe employees who are temporarily assigned to another location for work, such as international assignments or secondments. In many cases utstasjonerte emphasizes the status of being assigned away from the usual home base rather than the duration of the assignment.

Relation to related terms

Related Norwegian terms include utplassering (the act or process of deployment or assignment), stasjonering (the act of stationing) and utplasserte, which describe the state or act of placing personnel at a location. The word stasjonere is the verb form, and utstasjonert/utstasjonerte are its participial forms used as adjectives or in passive constructions.

Notes

The term is primarily used in Norwegian-language contexts and reflects organizational and administrative language surrounding personnel deployment and location-based assignments.
