Over 4,000 soldiers and officers from Home Guard District 08 will train in Agder and Rogaland during the largest annual exercise, “Jøssing,” from April 9 to 27. The drill is split into two phases: Agder from April 9 to 17 and Rogaland from April 13 to 27. Its purpose is to strengthen basic military skills and operational effectiveness within individual units. Personnel are required to train at least five days per year, while specialists, officers, and senior non‑commissioned officers train seven days. The exercise is coordinated with police and local municipalities; traffic congestion and noise from gunfire and flare guns may affect some roads. “Jøssing” draws its name from World War II events and symbolizes resistance and unity.
