Danish Defence agreement 2005-2009 (Danish: Forsvarsforlig 2005-2009) for the military of Denmark was signed June 10, 2004.
It calls for a significant reconstruction of the entire Danish military. At present, it is about 60% support structure and 40% combat operational capability, in the future, it will be 40% support structure and 60% combat operational capability, resulting in more combat soldiers and fewer 'paper'-soldiers. The reaction speed will be increased, with an entire brigade on standby readiness for global deployment; the military will retain the capability to deploy 2.000 soldiers in international service, or 5.000 for a short time span. The standard mandatory conscription is modified. Generally this means fewer conscripts, shorter service time for them and only those who choose to will continue into the reaction force system.
