Military of Greenland

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Government of Greenland does not have control of Greenland's military or foreign affairs. The defense of Greenland is the responsibility of Denmark.

Several American and Danish military bases are located in Greenland, including the US Thule Air Base.

The Royal Danish Navy operates a dog sled patrol called Sirius-patruljen, based in Daneborg. Greenland also has a coastguard that patrols the Greenlandic coast and carries out search and rescue operations.
