Wherever possible and relevant, the Armed Forces should seek to align military education and training with the civilian education system. This will enhance employees' opportunities for further employment and education in and outside the Armed Forces. An analysis is being carried out which will map out possibilities for establishing vocational education in the framework of the vocational education system with a special focus on Army privates. The work will be completed and presented to the Parties by the end of 2018. If the results of the analysis work provide a basis for reviewing in salary and employment terms, this will be negotiated between the negotiating parties. Denmark takes care of its veterans Danish women and men in the Armed Forces make an invaluable effort for Denmark and the international community. They serve far away from their country and their families and friends and often under challenging conditions. The Parties agree that the existing veteran initiatives will be continued during the agreement period and will in addition focus on the following elements: - - Future equivalence is established in relation to Legal Documents Act 425 and 426 for veterans injured before 14 August 1996, so that they are compensated as of 1 January 2018, which requires a change of law or document. The current veteran initiatives that are undertaken before, during and after deployment are based on a systematic and scientific follow-up to the Armed Forces experience and research. Research under the Veteran Centre will be prioritised in order to secure that the continued development of veteran efforts takes place on a qualified basis. The selection of the Armed Forces personnel for deployment will be strengthened with increased awareness on psychological readiness and funding will be allocated for research within this field. The overall veteran effort will undergo an evaluation in order to focus on those areas that make a difference. During the agreement period approximately DKK 1.8 billion will be allocated to the veteran area of which DKK 1.65 billion will be financed from the implementation of earlier decisions related to social allowances and benefits in 2017 and 2018. The establishments of the Armed Forces The Parties agree that the Armed Forces' existing establishments are preserved and utilised fully, among other things in accordance to operational considerations and efficient management. This includes internal rotations of units, although a minimum of rotations and relocation should be sought. Only when the final implementation plans are drawn up will it be possible to explain in more detail the geographical effects of the implementation of the political agreement. The implementation plan will be based on the following principles: - No garrisons are closed. The number of relocations is limited. A better regional balance is achieved. Professional cohesion is ensured. Significant changes in the use of Defence establishments or relocations of larger entities and / or authorities require approval by the political parties to this Agreement.
