The army headquarters was located in
Karup and tasked to train, maintain and prepare the army for war. However operational control in peacetime rested with the Western and the Eastern Regional Command. In wartime the former would have transferred its units to
LANDJUT, while the latter would have become the LANDZEALAND command. • Headquarters in

Bornholms Værn In wartime the island of
Bornholm was, due to the long distance from Zealand, an independent command. Furthermore, agreements signed after World War II forbade the stationing on Bornholm or reinforcing of Bornholm, by foreign troops. Therefore, the island was only guarded by one Battle Group with a single active light infantry battalion. However, during the transition to war this Battle Group would have been augmented and reinforced by local reservists. • Bornholms Værn's Battle Group • Staff and Signal Company • 1st Battalion, Bornholms Værn (infantry) (4 × TOW on Land Rover) • 2nd Battalion, Bornholms Værn (infantry) (reserve) (4 × TOW on Land Rover) • 3rd Battalion, Bornholms Værn (infantry) (reserve) (12 × 106 mm RR on Jeep M38) • Light Tank Squadron, "Bornholm Dragoons" (10 ×
