The Norwegian Contingent (NORCON) consists of five staff officers. They hold the following key positions: Chief of Operations (Colonel), Force Commander's Military Executive Assistant (Lieutenant Colonel) Force Commander's driver (2nd Lieutenant) and two Force Field Liaison Officers (Majors).
The Norwegians have been with the MFO since its inception. Eighty Norwegians have served with the Force. Norway has also provided a total of four Force Commanders including the current Force Commander, MG Kjell Narve Ludvigsen. For Norwegian officers, service in the Sinai is voluntary, and assignment to the MFO is highly desirable and sought after within the Norwegian Army. Norwegians serve a one-year tour of duty with the MFO.
Although small in numbers, Norwegian contingent personnel participate across the range of military, cultural and sporting activities offered by the Force. The Contingent enjoys participating in all team and individual sports programmed by the Force.
