Infantry Advisory Group (Ringerike)

The Infantry Advisory Group is a composite formation of the Ringerike Army formed in 2010 as an amalgamation of the Infantry Trials and Development Unit, the various independent OpFor Companies and a newly formed group of company sized units with the purpose of assisting foreign governments with the establishment of competent security forces, exchanging knowledge with established partners, as well as acting as observers in foreign conflicts that are of interest to the Ringerike Government, unlike other units personnel serve within the group on a rotational basis, retaining the uniform and accoutrements of their parent unit, changing only the flashes worn on the shoulder. Contrary to it's name it is not solely focused on Infantry activities and receives frequent attachments from other arms and services to provide required expertise.
