Forsvarets Spesialkommando (FSK) (Special Operations Command[1]) is a special operations forces unit of the Norwegian Special Operation Forces (Norwegian: Forsvarets Spesialstyrker).[2] The unit was established in 1982[3] due to the increased risk of terrorist activity against Norwegian interests, including the oil platforms in the North Sea.[4]

On 1 January 2014, the Norwegian Special Operation Command (NORSOCOM),[1] was established uniting the FSK and the Naval Special Operation Command (Norwegian: Marinejegerkommandoen) (MJK) under the command in the Norwegian Armed Forces.[2] In 2014, FSK established an all female unit Jegertroppen (Jeger Troop).[5]
