Abstract

To fulfill the obligations as an EU Battlegroup Framework Nation, the Swedish Armed Forces are to certify that the Nordic Battlegroup (NBG) meet the regulated standards and criteria. In September 2005 the operations research project FÖRVÄRMD (FÖRbandsVÄRDering Metod och Data) was initiated in order to analyze and recommend suitable methods for the evaluation and certification of the Nordic Battlegroup. This Base data report is the final report of the FÖRVÄRMD project, presenting its findings and conclusions from the period September to December 2005. The report is aimed for decision makers within the Armed Forces that constitutes the Nordic Battlegroup (Sweden, Finland, Norway, Estonia). The report is also aimed for those responsible for planning and conducting the evalution and certification of military units to international pools of forces.
