Viðbótarstyrkur

Viðbótarstyrkur is Icelandic for an amount of additional strength, force, or manpower supplied beyond what is normally available to support a person, operation, or system. The word is a compound of viðbót, meaning addition or extra, and styrkur, meaning strength or force.

In practice, viðbótarstyrkur is used in contexts where extra resources are mobilized to bolster capacity or effectiveness. This includes military or security discourse, where additional troops or equipment reinforce units or operations; civil defense and disaster response, where more personnel or matériel are deployed to improve response capabilities; and organizational planning or crisis management, where extra manpower or influence is sought to meet challenges or accelerate objectives.

In technical or engineering discussions, the concept can be described as an incremental reinforcement to a system, although more specific terms such as afl (power) or kraftur (force) may be preferred in certain disciplines.

Translations into English are typically provided as additional strength or reinforcement. See also related terms such as viðbót and styrkur, as well as broader concepts of reinforcement and capacity-building in organizational or security contexts.
