  consequences.

Danish Reserve ForcesThe future

• Reserve personnel will continue to be of great
  significance to Danish Defences task performance
  in relation to international missions, but also
  in relation to the training of Danish Defence
  units and total defence. As a result of the
  demobilisation of the mobilisation defence and
  affiliated structures, the quantitative need will
  decline and for this reason the number of reserve
  officers in the structure is to be adjusted
  during the accord period.

The Redefined Conscription
23
Cooperation between the Danish Armed Forces and
the civilian industry

• INTERFORCE is a cooperation between the Danish
  Armed Forces and the civilian industry.
• INTERFORCE was established in 1999 as a direct
  consequence of the emerging role of the DAF
  participating in several international
  operations. Very soon it was clear fact, that the
  number of theatres would demand the use of
  reservists thousands of reservists who
  alongside their civilian employment from time to
  time (periodically and through contractual terms)
  would be willing perform military service abroad.
  
• Presently the INTERFORCE initiative is supported
  by 1.734 companies, organisations and public
  institutions etc. who all together do employ
  approximately 1 million men and woman. This
  number should be compared to the total Danish
  population being approximately 5,4 million
  people.

24
Fellow-Soldier Support FSS

• Privately organized with Blue Barretts as main
  organizer supported by HPRD, HOD, CS, HKKF.
• FSS was established in 2002 as a direct
  consequence of the emerging role of the DAF
  participating in several international operations
  and that an increasing number soldiers got after
  mission reactions that maybe just need someone
  to talk to.
• FSS has an always open telephone-line, arranges
  trips to former mission areas (Bosnia, FYROM
  etc.) and organises special trips for personnel
  with heavy post traumatic syndroms.
• FSS receives approx. 1 mio. Euro a year via the
  Defence budget, mentioned directly in the annual
  state budget.

24
25
Defence AcademyIMP faculty

• IMP includes Social workers and Psychologists.
• IMP was established in 1970, reorganized several
  times, but realizing the emerging role of the DAF
  participating in several international operations
  it became a clear fact in 2005, that the number
  of social and psychological damages among
  soldiers in UN and NATO service required a more
  effective and energetic organisation, why the
  manning was raised to 12 P and 25 SW.
• The single soldier, his family, his mother, his
  friends etc. can call IMP for assistance or just
  to report about a serious event.

25
26
Soldiers FundSF

• SF was established in 2008.
• Donations given by Companies, Enterprises or
  Individuals.
• In total 1 mio. Euro is donated.
• Given to families, individuals, support to house
  rent, repair of house/car etc. unlimited reason
  for the support every single case or enquiry
  will be evaluated.

26
27
Legal Aspects/Regulations

• Employees in municipality, region, state and
  church are guaranteed up to 3 years leave and
  promised to return to at least a similar position
  in the context of joining a UN/NATO mission or an
  international organization (UNHCR, FAO, MSF, OSCE
  etc.).
• Such promises are not stated in the agreements
  between the counterparts on the civil labour
  market.
• But, many enterprises have stated such rights in
  their internal staff member handbook.
