'Danish Division' (Danish: ''Danske Division''), short 'DDIV', is the only remaining military land Division in Denmark. It is also the most potent single formation of the Danish armed forces.
It was created January 1, 1997 as the successor of Jutland Division. It is one of four Divisions of Multinational Corps North East (MNC NE), the German-Danish-Polish Corps, the successor to the former German-Danish "Allied Land Forces Schleswig-Holstein and Jutland" (LANDJUT).
Due to the Danish Defence agreement 2005-2009 Danish Division is currently undergoing major reorganisation, which will not only reduce the divisional strength but also transform it from the originally mobilization unit into a permanent and available formation. As a result of this, DDIV will possibly be affiliated with Allied Command Europe Rapid Reaction Corps instead.
The current structure consists of an armoured brigade, which is the main combat formation, and a training brigade, plus divisional troops. The armoured brigade consists of a single tank battalion, a reconnaissance battalion and two armoured infantry battalions.
