Víkingasveitin ((:ˈviːkiŋkaˌsveitɪn), ''The Viking Squad''), officially Sérsveit ríkislögreglustjórans (''Special Unit of the National Police Commissioner''), is Iceland's elite counter-terrorism unit, specializing in various types of armed and unarmed infantry combat. It is in many ways modeled on the Norwegian Emergency Response Unit counter-terrorist unit with which it conducts many exercises, both in Norway and Iceland. The Viking squad has about 50 police officers. The National Police Commissioner has published that the squad will be fully manned at 55 police officers by 2010. Iceland has no standing regular military, thus some functions performed by military forces in other nations may be performed in Iceland by units such as Víkingasveitin. == Duties == The unit is tasked with several duties, including but not limited to: * Security of the state and state officials * Security of foreign dignitaries * Counter-terrorism * Support of local police forces Additionally, the unit is designated to protect important installations in wartime, and it is often involved in exercises with Norwegian and Danish military special forces. During the stay of the U.S. military forces in Iceland, it conducted anti-special forces training operations and was responsible for its defences against terrorism. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Víkingasveitin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
