The Royal Danish Defence College (Danish: Forsvarsakademiet; FAK) is an independent authority in the Armed Forces under the Armed Forces Commander's Defence Command, which provides training, research, advice, and consultancy services in core military areas.

The head of the Defence Academy typically has the rank of Major General or Rear Admiral.

The institution was established on May 3, 1830, when Frederick VI of Denmark created the Royal Military College, which was to conduct the training of officers.

[1] The Armed Forces previously had four libraries, which at the end of 2009 were integrated into the newly established Armed Forces Library with its headquarters at Kastellet in Copenhagen.

For the sake of space, however, part of the four book collections were placed in a magazine.
