You’re watching and reading TFB’s Photo Of The Day, and today we’re looking at the Special Operations Command (SOKOM), known in Danish as Specialoperationskommandoen. They constitute a vital component of the Danish Armed Forces, operating within the framework of the Defence Command.

The Heckler & Koch HK416 is not listed as equipment of the Royal Danish Army, but in the images, it certainly looks like that is what they’re using. The sights are EOTechs.

Inaugurated in 2014, its primary objective was to integrate the Jaeger Corps (Jægerkorpset) and the Frogman Corps (Frømandskorpset) into a unified command structure. The command headquarters is situated at Aalborg Air Base.
