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:
“The short lesson that comes out of long experience in political agitation is something like this: all the motive power in all of these movements is the instinct of religious feeling. All the obstruction comes from attempting to rely on anything else. Conciliation is the enemy.”
—John Jay Chapman (1862–1933)
“The view of Jerusalem is the history of the world; it is more, it is the history of earth and of heaven.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
