Ranger Battalion GSV

Ranger Battalion GSV (Norwegian: Jegerbataljonen GSV, formerly known as the Garrison of Sør-Varanger) is a border guard light infantry battalion unit in the Norwegian Army that monitors the 196-kilometer (122 mi) border between Norway and Russia.

The border service requires physical and mental stamina, discipline and the ability to think, decide and initiate.

Most of the time in the education company consist of field exercise, fire drills and role specialisation.

The new Ranger Company (JGKP) have anti-mobility (anti-tank) weapons like the Javelin missile system, and also deploy AT mines.

In addition to the border stations, some soldiers also staff the checkpoint at Storskog, the only legal crossing point between Norway and Russia.
