Thousands of Norwegians are expected to receive letters from the military on Monday informing them that their homes, vehicles, boats and machinery may be requisitioned in the event of war.
“The requisitions are intended to ensure that, in a wartime situation, the armed forces have access to the resources necessary for the defence of the country,” the military said in a statement.
Around 13,500 preparatory requisitions will be issued for 2026.
The letters have no practical impact in peacetime other than to let owners know that the military may take over their goods in the event of a conflict, the statement said.
