Danish Defense Ministry confirmed: If the US invades Greenland, Danish soldiers can shoot first and ask later

The Daily Telegraph reported that according to the rules of engagement, if the US invades Greenland, Danish soldiers can shoot first and then seek approval.

The report said that on Wednesday, the Danish Defense Ministry confirmed the existence of a rule formulated in 1952, which stipulates that soldiers can "immediately" counter an invasion force without waiting for orders.

When the Danish center-right newspaper Berlingske asked the Defense Ministry about the current status of the rule, the Defense Ministry also stated that the rule "is still valid."

Berlingske pointed out that the 1952 rule stipulates that once an invasion occurs, "the defending forces must immediately engage in combat without waiting or seeking orders, even if the relevant commanders are not yet aware of a declaration of war or a state of war."

The Danish Defense Ministry responded: "The orders regarding military defense measures taken during national attacks and in times of war remain valid."
