Denmark (proper) MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ARMED FORCES The armed forces of Denmark consist of the land army and the navy. The first is under the control of the Ministry of War and the last under that of the Ministry of the Marine. The air force is partly under the control of the land army and partly under that of the navy. The organisation of the Danish army is based on a principle similar to that of the militia system. Under the present army law, which was enacted in I922, the conscripts attached to the principal arms remain with the colours for an average period of 6 1/4 months only. One section of the armed forces, which is known as the Landstorm (militia), receives military instruction for a period of two months. With the exception, therefore, of one small section of the armed forces, Denmark does not possess a standing army in the strict sense of the term. I. Army. ORGANISATION AND COMPOSITION OF THE ARMY I.
