Professor Paal Sigurd Hilde believes that my reply to him on 5 July offers image of the scenario within the armed forces when it comes to command and management. There isn’t a want for whitewashing or blackmail, simply fact-based choices about the best way ahead.
Hilde factors to statements by the management of Protection that the administration should enhance. After all, we on the Norwegian Protection Analysis Institute additionally see drawback areas and challenges within the administration and use of assets within the protection sector. However the truth that administration can do higher shouldn’t be the identical as “The armed forces have nearly no management over something”, Hilde acknowledged in an article in Aftenposten on 26 June.
Hilde mentions that the Nationwide Audit Workplace criticizes the Norwegian armed forces as a result of they don’t shut the gaps in ammunition and spare components, amongst different issues, and would not have sufficiently safe ICT techniques. These are challenges that the Norwegian Protection Analysis Institute has additionally identified a number of occasions. But when we’ve to attend for the armed forces to shut all gaps of their preparedness and implement all administration reforms earlier than we are able to enhance the protection funds, we are going to sadly have to attend a very long time.
