Our King Frederike the 10th is a trained frogman and went through everything you see in the video.

My reply here is not meant to be rude, just informative. Frederik (Frederike is considered a girls name). If you meant to use the English version of the name it is Frederick.

With a speech impediment? So, how do the frogmen fit the scuba mouthpiece in their mouths? Do they take the potatoes out or are the mouthpieces custom made for danish speakers? 😁

When the Terror Attack happened in Denmark in 2015, The Frogmen was deployed to assist the police. Its also important to note the language the instructors are using. They talk very polite, and they adress the aspirants very formelly.

It's funny that the frogmen kind of look like the wives of the average terrorist.

We love our "Frømænd" and our King is a frømand veteran, his nick name was "Pingo". He impressed during the inauguration, of which some was public and followed by the Danish tv, where he (being a smoker) sat at the bottom of the pool for two minutes and then took the 50 meters still under water, to the other end. Now that's a warrior King. And you read correct, the Danish Frømænd have some of the highest, if not the highest attrition rate. They are not only considered mentally and physically strong, but very intellectual as well, why all walks of life can apply...

I don’t even think there is a military uniform that could top theirs. The helmet and net combo with the black face paint is 🔥🔥🔥.

Yeah, a certain picture seems to be used a bit often for KZread thumbnails about Special Forces, even when there are no mention of the Danish Special Forces in the video.

As a Dane its cool to see your view on it as a british vet. Also the frogmen are indeed based on the the special boat service (like so many other special forces after WW2).The anglo-saxon really were the tip of the spear / frontrunners ;)

Someone once told me, when it comes to many jobs in the military the physical abilities is not the most important thing. Yes, getting in the frogmen core takes a lot of training to be able to complete their entrance course and to succeed in the main course. But, one thing is even more important and that is the aspirants mindset. Can they keep going even though they are tired, hungry, wet and stressed. It is much harder to train someone to have that mindset, than it is to train somebody to run 15k. You can be an absolute unit, but if you are only willing to give 50% of yourself, that is not the place for you.

The 311 number stated at the start was 100% correct at the time, 2015. In 2013 in an interview, we got told there was about 150 actively serving in the Frogman Corp. The public does now know how many are serving today.

I have a friend who serves. He does not want even a hint of what he does to even other NATO officers and SF. Also I am fairly certain there are not 150 Frøer. There are about 150 Frøer *and* Jægere.

And just to add to this, they say it takes 10 "Jæger (Hunters)" to 1 "Frø (Frog)", with a Jæger being equivalent to the British SAS. So you can definitely see the exclusivity in the numbers, and see there's not many Frogs.

Today it is around 350 people that have become Frogmen. Had the pleasure to work and talk with a frogman who was active doing the 70s and 80s, he had some stories, told us they got a new id and background doing that time, one of the things they did was training in responds too counter the special forces from Poland, who was dedicated for invading Denmark if the red flag was raised, stuff he wouldn't talk about, which makes you wonder, what did we do that doing that period.

Have looked forward to see you react to this 😊😊

Thank you, been a great start to the series

We do that Syringe test in all of the Danish defence force

The Danish are tough,they dont fuck around.

My best buddy was a Frø, and he told me that they often trained with the USN Seals. And it was not always the Seals, who won. No disrespect!

I have just this evening spent Midsommer Eve at Kongsøre beach and wood where King Frederik 10 was trained as a frogman. Their training track is in the wood which surrounds the Torpedo Station, but this section of the wood and some of the beach are fenced off. 😊

Denmark is an archipelago. We HAVE to have soldiers, who can work under water. Our sister and brothers have soldiers, who can ski - in mountains and forrests. The Nordics have Peace Keeping Forces. It's beautiful - and a cute. If we ever have to fight on home ground, it'll be a guerilla war. I say, good luck taking on the Finns and the Swedes. It's a different jungle! But have you seen how flat Denmark is? There's hardly a hill 🙄No forrest, just a bit of woods. Where the f are you going to hide?

I am still waiting for the "My War" documentary :D It's uploaded by Metziker.

my father was in another special forces group called (in english) "Hunting corps" i think in danish its called "JægerKorpset" good video and yes im from denmark :)

React to the Indian Navy telefilm please The video is in English, and goes into great details about the working and training of the navy. All of the footage is also original navy footage since the vid is official

Frogs are one branch of Danish SFs, the other being the hunters or jægere. They have a very different recruitment structure, where anyone can apply to become a frogman, only trained soldiers are picked for the hunter recruitment. They tried a similar setup to the frogmen, but found it took too much work to get them through the basics, PE, weapons training etc., to get them up to speed and ready to enter the course. How the Frogmen make it work, I'm not sure. The attempt was done to attract a broader skill set to the hunters, but unfortunately didn't pan out. And yes. They are the Danish equivalents to the SAS and SBS.

Just so you know - Our King is one of the people with this education.

The Danish king has gone through that and Sirius paptrol

please do greek OYK next

Frogman are hardcore soldiers Only the best of the best!🇩🇰

Did you ever finish the Sirius Patrol? I did not see that video? I have a friend in Frømandskorpset and one in Jægerkorpset. The two units has a friendly rivalry, Jægerkorpset er the gung ho aggressive jump-ou-of-planes types, and Frøerne are quiet, calm, nice and lethal. It is no use to go aggressive under water; calm and deliberate action is what works there.

@@CombatReadyHQ BTW, did you not serve with Danes in Helmand? Danes and Brits stood shoulder to shoulder in the hardest fighting there, and Danes suffered the highest losses per population. Though compared to what is going on in Ukraine, it was a police action. People did not like it when I called it that back then. Guerrilla screws your mind most, hot war screws your body most.

I think the stereotype of the aggressive Jaeger is more of a Cold War thing, that's at least what I read in memoirs, and that it changed when they switched to a more counter-terror and special operations profile in the 1990s. The old Jaeger motto also used to be "Forrest mod fjenden" (In the front towards the enemy) from their times as skirmishers and shock troops, which they changed in the same period to the current "Plus Esse Quam Simultatur" (More to be than to seem). If anything the current stereotype leans more towards the Frogmen acting like toughguys during these selection documentaries, compared to more laid back Jaegers.

Try read this book. Anders Lassen VC, MC, of the SAS by Mike Langley. I believe he was one of the first members of SBS, and one of the highest decorated, with 2 victorie cross.

This is the second time I’ve had to correct someone online about Lassen’s medals. I don’t know where my fellow Danes get the idea he got 2 (two!) Victoria Crosses. He won his VC at Lake Camacchio, Italy in 1945 and two or three Military Cross medals, can’t remember exact number. But NOT two VCs… come on. There’s only like 3 guys who has ever won 2 VCs. Think a little before posting

No.. The hunter corps is considered more elite.. Compareable to Tier 1 units like delta force and sas.. Frogmen are comparable to navy seals which is tier 2 units. Not devgru!
