Hi.
The picture for unit 451, Home guard SF, actually shows Royal Guards in Field Uniforms (the cap is the give-away). Royal Guardsmen in Norway would be most annoyed by beeing called Home guard, SF or other vise.

The Royal Guard has 5 companies, 1 light infantry, using helicopters or their 4 SISU/PASI for transport. 1 for escorting VIPs, and 1 company specialised in urban warfare. (2 others are logistics and music/drill). (from http://www.mil.no/fol/afg/start/arti...ticleID=98214)

I also wonder where the M-113 for present day mech. coys. have gone. I think they are still in service. Some were in Afghanistan in April 2005(http://www.mil.no/fol/afg/start/arti...rticleID=98214).

Halstein.
