Brigade Nord (Brig. N.; Northern Brigade) is the only full strength standing brigade in the Norwegian Army; it is one of two brigades in the Norwegian 6th Division (the other one is Brig. 6). It is mostly based in mid-Troms north of the Arctic Circle. As of 1 of May 2004, the Brigade is organized under the FIST-H concept, with all training and standing battalions in the Army, and is being transformed into a standing brigade with the ability to participate in operations at home and abroad.
