– Do you own an important vehicle, building or small vessel? Then you may be asked to contribute to the national preparedness. On 19 January, the Norwegian Armed Forces will send a digital message to car owners in Norway about the prepared requisition of vehicles. From 2024, resources other than vehicles will also be included in the scheme, writes the Norwegian Defense Forces in a press release.
This is the third time the Norwegian Armed Forces have sent out prepared requisitions after they started the modernization of the requisition system. In 2022 and 2023, just over 4,000 prepared vehicle requisitions were sent out.
Now the number is increasing. At the same time, buildings and smaller vessels are included in the scheme.
If you own a resource that the Armed Forces have prepared and requisitioned, this does not have any particular practical significance in peacetime.
– We want you to know that your vehicle or resource – in a war situation – will be disposed of by the Armed Forces if necessary. The prepared requisition applies for one year at a time, but can be extended, writes the Norwegian Armed Forces.
The practice is authorized in the Military Requisitions Act of 29 June 1951. The armed forces can only initiate requisitions if the kingdom is at war, or if it is decided by the King in Council.
