This report concerns the Ministry of Defence’s protection of military areas.
The purpose of the study is to assess whether the Ministry of Defence has ensured sufficient protection of military areas against espionage, sabotage, burglary and theft.
Rigsrevisionen finds that the Ministry of Defence’s protection of military areas warrants criticism. The ministry has been aware of serious deficiencies in the security of military areas for several years. Consequently, the ministry has not provided sufficient protection of the areas against a range of threats and does not comply with its own security requirements. This may have significant consequences for the Danish Defence and has, in specific instances, affected security.
Rigsrevisionen initiated the study in February 2025.
