Norway's female tank commander

There is a saying up North.
‘If you can handle arctic conditions, you can handle warfare and challenges everywhere.’
A tank, it’s like a rhino because it has armour and it’s like a leopard because it’s
fast and it strikes hard.
I feel privileged.
It feels grand to be commanding a platoon of the main battle system to the army.
I am in charge of four tanks.
That is a huge amount of firepower.
The things I love about my job is the people, challenging tasks and my development as an
officer, leader, soldier and a human being.
I didn’t know so much about the army when I started.
I thought it was great so I went up, to the tank.
For me it’s really important to train.
So I treat myself the same way I treat the tanks, as a machine.
We need to be prepared to solve missions in the whole scale.
We are deploying eight tanks, and I am looking forward to meeting our Allies.
Working together, showing that we take our membership in NATO in a serious manner.
That is important.
