Well: Any armed force that has been to war recently will apply common sense. The Danish Armed farces haven't done anything but a bit of peacekeeping the last 150 odd years. And I've never assumed they even aspired to mediocrity.
Do you understand the Danish army has recruiting problems.

Actually I suspect the armed forces in Denmark use "profiling": That is the only explanation for assigning a colonel Høy-Hansen to the personel department in the Air Farce: He was a good operational man; but absolutely hopeless as a leader of men, assign a man to a post he is certainly incapable of filling ....
I do wonder: As the NCO and Officer carriers of the Australians are very much parallel - including pay, why is profiling not done on a from the most basic level; perhaps it has something to do with the relatively small size of the Australian armed forces.

My idea for the Danish forces is that every man in peacetime should be trained for the next higher position, so in case of a buildup the command structure can be augmented by the simple expedient of lining the force up. Walking along with a box of chevrons, stripes and stars!
