Defence Construction Service (Denmark) - Short History

Short History

FBT can trace its history back to 1684, when King Christian V setup three fortifications services for Denmark, Schleswig-Holstein and Norway, which eventually evolved to what is today FBT. The current name is from 1952, when Army Construction Service, Navy Construction Service and Coast Fortification Service was united into one.

Due to the new Defence agreement 2005-2009, significant changes are to take place in FBT, which is to eventually evolve into a new "Defence Construction and Establishment Service" (Danish: Forsvarets Bygnings- og Etablissementstjeneste), short "FBE", by incorporating some decentralized departments located out by the Military regiments, as well as the Defence Command's infrastructure department, into FBT, for a more streamlined organization.

Famous quotes containing the words short and/or history:

    “It is while we are young that the habit of industry is formed. If not then, it never is afterwards. The fortune of our lives therefore depends on employing well the short period of our youth.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    “False history gets made all day, any day,
    the truth of the new is never on the news
    False history gets written every day
    ...
    the lesbian archaeologist watches herself
    sifting her own life out from the shards she’s piecing,
    asking the clay all questions but her own.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
