Norway's NATO Operations

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the Norwegian Armed Forces shifted their focus from defending against invasion to participating in NATO operations abroad. Norway contributed to several key international conflicts, including the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999, the War in Afghanistan in 2001, the Iraq War in 2003, and the Libyan Civil War in 2011. These missions marked a significant shift in Norway’s military strategy, emphasizing mobility and international cooperation within NATO.
