Major General Per Ludvigsen discusses lessons learned from Danish experiences working with partners in Iraq and Afghanistan. He notes that at the soldier, section, and platoon levels, the modus operandi was similar, but differences emerged at the unit level between decision-making processes and levels of control. Integration of staff officers between groups also requires adaptability. The general then outlines the composition of a standard Danish Battle Group and how it can operate in a "plug and play" manner with multinational partners by receiving attachments to supplement its capabilities.
