Copenhagen, Denmark - Amalienborg - Changing of the Guard (2018)
Amalienborg is the home of the Danish royal family, and is located in Copenhagen, Denmark. It consists of four identical classical palace façades with rococo interiors around an octagonal courtyard (Danish: Amalienborg Slotsplads); in the centre of the square is a monumental equestrian statue of Amalienborg's founder, King Frederick V.
Amalienborg was originally built for four noble families; however, when Christiansborg Palace burned on 26 February 1794, the royal family bought the palaces and moved in. Over the years various kings and their families have resided in the four different palaces.
Copenhagen is the capital and most populous city of Denmark. The city has a population of 775,033 (as of January 2018), of whom 613,288 live in the Municipality of Copenhagen and the Copenhagen urban area has a population of 1,308,893 (as of January 2018). Copenhagen is situated on the eastern coast of the island of Zealand; another small portion of the city is located on Amager, and is separated from Malmö, Sweden, by the strait of Øresund. The Øresund Bridge connects the two cities by rail and road.
Originally a Viking fishing village founded in the 10th century, Copenhagen became the capital of Denmark in the early 15th century. Beginning in the 17th century it consolidated its position as a regional centre of power with its institutions, defences and armed forces. After suffering from the effects of plague and fire in the 18th century, the city underwent a period of redevelopment. This included construction of the prestigious district of Frederiksstaden and founding of such cultural institutions as the Royal Theatre and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. After further disasters in the early 19th century when Horatio Nelson attacked the Dano-Norwegian fleet and bombarded the city, rebuilding during the Danish Golden Age brought a Neoclassical look to Copenhagen's architecture. Later, following the Second World War, the Finger Plan fostered the development of housing and businesses along the five urban railway routes stretching out from the city centre.
Since the turn of the 21st century, Copenhagen has seen strong urban and cultural development, facilitated by investment in its institutions and infrastructure. The city is the cultural, economic and governmental centre of Denmark; it is one of the major financial centres of Northern Europe with the Copenhagen Stock Exchange. Copenhagen's economy has seen rapid developments in the service sector, especially through initiatives in information technology, pharmaceuticals and clean technology. Since the completion of the Øresund Bridge, Copenhagen has become increasingly integrated with the Swedish province of Scania and its largest city, Malmö, forming the Øresund Region. With a number of bridges connecting the various districts, the cityscape is characterised by parks, promenades and waterfronts. Copenhagen's landmarks such as Tivoli Gardens, The Little Mermaid statue, the Amalienborg and Christiansborg palaces, Rosenborg Castle Gardens, Frederik's Church, and many museums, restaurants and nightclubs are significant tourist attractions. The largest lake of Denmark, Arresø, lies around 27 miles (43 kilometers) northwest of the City Hall Square.
Copenhagen is home to the University of Copenhagen, the Technical University of Denmark and Copenhagen Business School. The University of Copenhagen, founded in 1479, is the oldest university in Denmark. Copenhagen is home to the FC København and Brøndby football clubs. The annual Copenhagen Marathon was established in 1980. Copenhagen is one of the most bicycle-friendly cities in the world.
The Copenhagen Metro launched in 2002 serves central Copenhagen while the Copenhagen S-train and Lokaltog (private railway) and the Coast Line network serves and connects central Copenhagen to outlying boroughs. To relieve traffic congestion, which is partly the result of increased traffic because of the Fehmarn Belt Fixed Link road and rail construction is planned because the narrow 9-9.5 mile isthmus between Roskilde Fjord and Køge Bugt (Køge Bay) forms a traffic bottleneck. The Copenhagen-Ringsted Line will relieve traffic congestion in the corridor between Roskilde and Copenhagen.
Serving roughly two million passengers a month, Copenhagen Airport, Kastrup, is the busiest airport in the Nordic countries.

Danish Royal Army Drum Corps Performs at NCOCEA
COPENHAGEN, Denmark -- The seventh Conference of European Armies for Noncommissioned Officers wrapped up here this week.
The three-day conference co-hosted by U.S. Army Europe and the Royal Danish Army brought together senior NCOs from 32 European nations and the U.S. to share tactics and techniques and to build relationships among European, U.S. and other allied and partner forces.
The purpose of the conference is to encourage the development of professional armies throughout the European land forces and build relationships between the European armies and senior NCO's, explained USAREUR Command Sgt. Maj. David Davenport.
Sharing ideas was the goal of every conversation. Many of the senior leaders that attended the conference said they looked forward to engaging in discussions and reestablishing networks with their peers.
I think the important thing is we get to meet people in similar positions in the different armies just to make that connection, said Sergeant Major of the United Kingdom Army Vern Stokes. No longer will we be operating as a singular army and we need the help of all of our allies and these opportunities are great for building those relationships.
Stokes cited an example of how important these peer networks can be, discussing an incident at the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst, England, in which there was concern that a cadet suffering from post-traumatic stress might harm himself.
All it took was a phone call from me to the army sergeant major I had met last year, and I asked him to give him (the cadet) a telephone call and tell him how well he's doing and how his country is really proud of him, Stokes said. That was enough for him to realign himself and focus on what he had to and that was to pass the course. We saw a complete turnaround, and that was enabled purely by making contacts during this conference.
Stokes's example was one of many brought up during the conference that touched on this year's theme of soldier resiliency. Throughout the event participants attended briefings on issues that affect the readiness and resiliency of Soldiers before, during and after deployments.
This is a topic that has an impact on all armies, said Sergeant Major of the Croatian Land Forces Dominik Ban.
Ban went on to talk about the stigma that is often associated with seeking help for mental health issues and the need for professional militaries to focus on removing that stigma and getting soldiers the help they need.
If you have a pain in your leg you go see the doctor; if you have a pain in your mind you go see a doctor. It's normal, he said.
From all the briefings and discussions it was clear that the welfare of their soldiers was first and foremost in the minds of the assembled NCOs.
When you talk about the care of Soldiers, that's easy to say, but to actually cause an effect is something different, Davenport said. Many of the presenters and discussions, they all are doing something -- they take care of that vital resource of Soldiers.
The conference wrapped up with a dinner co-hosted by USAREUR commander Lt. Gen. Donald M. Campbell Jr. and Danish Maj. Gen. Per Ludvigsen, commander of the Danish Army Operational Command.
During the dinner Campbell spoke about the need for a strong NCO Corps to act as the eyes and ears of a military force's senior leadership.
NCOs are the backbone of any professional force, and you have a role to play, not only in the accomplishment of the tactical, operational and strategic missions, but also in maintaining the resiliency of your Soldiers and units as we shape the force for the future.
