# Norwegian campaign order of battle

The German operation for the invasion of Denmark and Norway in April 1940 was code-named Weserübung, or "Weser Exercise." Opposing the invasion were the partially mobilized Norwegian military, and an allied expeditionary force composed of British, French, and Free Polish formations. The following list formed the order of battle for this campaign.

## Norway

Owing to the speed and surprise achieved by the German forces, the Norwegian army was only able to partially mobilize. Unit strengths were only a fraction of their paper establishments.
Unlike the armies of most other nations, the Norwegian "division" was more of an administrative and mobilization unit, rather than a fighting formation. The most important tactical unit of the Norwegian army was the regiment. When mobilized, each regiment was supposed to muster two battalions of infantry of the line, and one battalion of landvern. Some of the Norwegian forces were ad hoc battalions.
The commander of the Norwegian Army at the time of the invasion was General Kristian Laake. He was replaced by Colonel Otto Ruge on 11 April.
Each Regiment had 3,750 soldiers, with 60,000 being the total number of soldiers by 1940. Every battalion had around 1,250 soldiers. However, only 55,000 soldiers were well prepared.

### Norwegian Army

* The Royal Guards battalion – based in Oslo and Elverum, the only unit in Southern Norway that received proper training during the inter-war years.
* 1st Division – This division had its headquarters in Halden, and was commanded by Major-General Carl Johan Erichsen.

** 12th Infantry Regiment (based in Trondheim)
** 13th Infantry Regiment (based in Steinkjer)
* 6th Division – This division had its headquarters in Harstad, and was commanded by Major-General Carl Gustav Fleischer. The division was better prepared for war than any other unit of the Norwegian Army as it had been mobilised and kept on duty during the Finnish Winter War.
** 14th Infantry Regiment (based in Mosjøen)
** 15th Infantry Regiment (based at Elvegårdsmoen)
** 16th Infantry Regiment (based in Tromsø and Bardufoss)
    During the campaign, the 6th Division formed two light infantry brigades. The 6th Brigade was initially commanded by Colonel Kristian Løken, and from 9 May by Lieutenant Colonel Ole Berg, and the 7th Brigade, commanded by Colonel Wilhelm Faye.
* Additional units – These were additional units not organised into divisions.
** 1st Dragoon Regiment (based at Gardermoen, including Norway's only tank)

** Alta Battalion (based at Altagård in Alta)
** Varanger Battalion (based in Kirkenes, with training grounds at Nyborgmoen near Varangerbotn)
At the time of the German invasion, the Norwegian Army was only partially mobilized, and thus only the following land units were immediately available to the Norwegians;
* The Oslo battalion of the Royal Guards
* 4 regiments of the 1st and 2nd Divisions
* 3 battalions of the 3rd Division
* 5 battalion for the 4th Division
* Only about 2 battalions and a company of 5th Division
* The 6th Division
* Three landvern companies at Horten, Haugesund and on various fortresses in the Oslofjord.

The three biplanes were intended to form a Norwegian Army Air Service training unit in Finland under the command of Captain Ole Reistad, but were eventually taken over by the Finnish Air Force.
