      The drill team is a surname for a tiny part of the royal guards (HMKG)!

      +S Borgersen Wrong. Actual royal guard here, they are 3rd company Music and Drill performing only drill and music excercises, only 1st, 2nd and 4th Company do guard duty :)

    • @Craftified
      @Craftified Před 8 lety +5

      No, to become a royal guard your company has to pass several exams which 3rd company don't even train for. They are solely training for music and drill excercises and they are lucky to even go to the shooting range once during their service. That being said, they're absolutely beasts at what they do and they train very hard to be at the level they are. - Former royal guard ;)

    incase your interested, those guns are 10 pounds if that doesn't seem like alot try to hold your laptop and spin it like that, they are all M1 Garands and all previously served with the Norwegian Army during WW2 and after, but have since been decommissioned. Also everyone there except the band and officers are all conscripts and only practice for about 5-8 months..

    @DonQuixotec hehe :P I use the AG3 in the Home Guard Youth (Heimevernsungdommen) and you can clearly see that it have been used quite a lot. They are full of scratches and some of the rifles even have major flaws, preventing us from shooting straight. They are also huge and heavy, but excellent for training and to get used to having a weapon with you :P

    @megrune94 I were not in the 3rd Gardekompani, but I borrowed one of their M1's a bit. It's very old and worn out. It's almost a piece of scrap, after all the violence they've been through, stomping it in the ground and throwing it. I was very pleased with the HK416 though. And if I were to carry an older weapon I would much rather have the M14. My god what a great weapon.

    what the Norwegian guards are showing is shame, sadness, heroism and love in their act, its all subliminal.. when they have their heads down its a memorial for all the sadness that was happening in Norway back in the days.. when they got their head looking up its heroism, a symbol of love and culture for the Norwegian people saluting our freedom

      Not in 1940.
      You are highly inaccurate. In 1945 it was a combination of forces. British, norwegian trained in Britain and Sweden. Americans incl Battalion 99, norwegians from Wisconsin and North Dakota, etc. Not to forget the Red Army that pushed the germans back in the north in 1944. In 1945 it was a takeover by Allied forces from from a well organised Wehrmacht.

      +Filipe Fernandes Yes, the royal guards of Norway were known as such by the germans.
      Yes, they wear the uniform that all of the HMKG uses... but the guys you see here are the drill team. The ones using the M1 - rifle use it for ceremonial purposes and for drills.
      The operative guards of the HMKG use the HK 416 and are the ones that stand guard outside the royal residences and are trained infantry.
      These guys in this video has little to none basic training, they are not on guard duty or infantry.
      I served as in the HMKG myself. The HMKG is split into different companies, the 3rd Company, which are these guys, do nothing but drills.
