COPENHAGEN: Denmark on Wednesday announced it would add 5,000 positions to its military in the next eight years, including setting up a new infantry battalion, as the defence minister highlighted the “deteriorating” security the country faces.
The defence ministry said a new infantry battalion would be created to ensure a “continuous military presence” on the strategic island of Bornholm in the Baltic Sea.
“We live in uncertain times, where it is important to be able to defend Denmark in a situation where security is deteriorating, and here we have given special consideration to Bornholm,” Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen said.
