Defence Construction Service (Denmark)
Defence Construction Service (Danish: Forsvarets Bygningstjeneste), short just "FBT", is a Level.I authority, directly under the Danish Ministry of Defence.
It is the authority that handles all construction and building projects for all other authorities under the Danish Ministry of Defence. It does not actually do the building itself, but rather is the project manager and works out all the plans on how it should be done and who should do it.
The Construction Service is also responsible for such things as property assessments, selling and buying property, legal consultation, preservations, energy, environmental issues and much more.
The Service is split into several divisions and is housed in Viborg and Copenhagen. FBT also does projects for civilian companies and other ministries in the Danish government.

“Mankind have such a deep stake in inward illumination, that there is much to be said by the hermit or monk in defence of his life of thought and prayer.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“There is, I think, no point in the philosophy of progressive education which is sounder than its emphasis upon the importance of the participation of the learner in the formation of the purposes which direct his activities in the learning process, just as there is no defect in traditional education greater than its failure to secure the active cooperation of the pupil in construction of the purposes involved in his studying.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
“A man’s real faith is never contained in his creed, nor is his creed an article of his faith. The last is never adopted. This it is that permits him to smile ever, and to live even as bravely as he does. And yet he clings anxiously to his creed, as to a straw, thinking that that does him good service because his sheet anchor does not drag.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
