Norway has three perment activated military units in Norway. * Telemarksbataljonen (Rapid response force) * H.M. Kings Guard (The protection and possible evacuation of the royal family) * Garnisonen i Sør Varanger (Border guards along the Russian border). The rest of the military is training in case of war/activation.
Tattoo in English comes fron the Dutch 'doe den tap toe' - 'shut off the taps'. It dates from thec1600s, when drummers and trumpeters would go out into the town to signal that the drinking should stop and troops should return to barracks.
That they can do it in 9 months shows that when you have some practice from before (as many Norwegian children have with marching bands) you can do the most incredible things when discipline, time and motivation are present.
The Royal Guard is mainly an ordinary infantry battalion of around 1200 conscripted soldiers, based just outside Oslo. What you see here is the 3rd Company. They are also conscripted soldiers, with ordinary base training, not professional soldiers and musicians. But then the special tasks take over. Applications are open for all young Norwegian, men and women, but of course only very talented people are accepted. I’ve been told that the training is gruelling, but both training and service is really fun - if you got the right mindset.
Yeah, an exercise in millitary discipline. We are quite proud of theese buys, they always do well in international competitions like the aunal one in Edinburough, but our boys are conscripts with a few months of training and they compete against proffesionals with years of experience and training. The King could have no better honour guard.

They are soldiers. They are the king's guard. And they protect, among other things, the Royal Castle. Greetings from Norway. 😀

They're bloody good!
Nossa 😮😮😮 impressionante 😮😮😮lindo ❤❤❤❤
Calling the King’s Guard a «marching band» is flat out offensive 🙄
Well, they are a marching band among other things.
@@kristoffergulsvik It is a apt comparison, there is no need to be offended.
Good marching bands also march in advanced formation.
These guys are conscripts
