He believes that Norway is in a serious threat situation, and that it is therefore important to get such a system in place.

FIN - Poliisiylitarkastaja Kautto, @HannuKautto, Police Board. Planning, monitoring and preparation of result and strategic guidance, finances, resources of police operations. : The police have leadership responsibility in hybrid situations before identifiable military acts. The readiness unit Karhu is a police special force in normal and exceptional conditions, the training prepares for national and international cooperation.
Hybrid actions can take the form of, for example, provoked demonstrations, influence of information, various degrees of intimidation, instrumentalization of entry into the country, sabotage of critical infrastructure, cyber attacks or, at worst, acts of terrorism
The police are on standby if there is an attempt to disrupt social peace
The range of hybrid measures is wide. They can manifest themselves, for example, in the form of provoked demonstrations, influence of information, varying degrees of threats, instrumentalization of entry into the country, sabotage of critical infrastructure, cyber attacks or, in extreme cases, acts of terrorism.
Typically, the actual nature and origin of the activity is obscured. What the described acts have in common is that they aim to undermine society, its national integrity and the known trust in the authorities.
A strong denominator for hybrid measures is also the fact that they mostly appear in the area of internal security, especially in the field of police operations. The division of responsibilities and tasks for society's preparedness are based on legislation: before actual identifiable military acts, a response to hybrid actions is given on the ground, and the investigation of incidents is primarily handled by the police.
Whether it's green men, acts of terrorism, sabotage disguised as accidents, or attempts to undermine public order and security.
25 Sept 2022 - GER: New command - hybrid attacks are considered the "worst case"The police, as the multitasker of security and the authority with the main responsibility for internal security, is in many ways prepared to be able to be everyone's safety - at all times.
The commander of the Bundeswehr's new domestic command, Carsten Breuer, wants to quickly improve the ability to respond to targeted destabilization.
A "hybrid influence on Germany's security architecture, i.e. this situation in which one has to say that it is no longer quite peace, but it is not quite war either", is the "worst case"; for the command, said the lieutenant general of the German Press Agency, before the central command post was put into service on Monday in Berlin by Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht (both SPD).
The Ministry of Defense describes hybrid warfare as when opposing powers rely on a combination of classic military operations, economic pressure, hacker attacks on the infrastructure and propaganda in the media and social networks.
Instability arises that must be responded to. “Mastering this, across the entire spectrum, is the core of this command,” says Breuer.
In response to the changed security situation after the Russian attack in Ukraine, the Defense Minister decided to consolidate the leadership of the armed forces domestically in the new command in the Julius Leber barracks in Berlin. The Bundeswehr continues to have an operational command in Schwielowsee near Potsdam to manage foreign operations.
