Kampvogn Committee

The Kampvogn Committee was a significant entity in the history of Norwegian military development. Founded in 1928, it served as the leading body for the development of armored warfare in Norway. The Committee was composed mainly of military personnel who had a strong understanding of the intricacies and complexities of armored combat. This expertise allowed them to provide insightful assessments of the various vehicle trials and projects they oversaw. 
One of the key factors in the Committee's success was the inclusion of foreign members, who brought new perspectives and ideas to the table. The Foreign Influence program, initiated in 1933, added American advisor Richard K. Miller to the Committee's ranks, further broadening its international influence. However, after the arrest of Quisling, most of the personnel handpicked by him were removed, allowing for a fresh start for the Committee.
The Committee's impact on the development of the Norwegian tank doctrine was invaluable. Led by Colonel Christopher Fougner, the Committee's six members were responsible for assessing and managing vehicle trials, allowing for the creation and implementation of innovative tank strategies and techniques. The expertise and perspectives of the Committee members, combined with the international influence brought by foreign members and Miller, resulted in the creation of a unique and effective Norwegian tank doctrine that greatly impacted the country's military capabilities.
