Romeo Squared is a blog about defense issues with a focus on the Baltic Sea region. Military topics in general or stories from other regions may occasionally appear, but usually there is a Baltic or Northern European angle.
The purpose of Romeo Squared is to contribute to a qualified defense debate. There is a need for an exchange of ideas, and a blog such as this one might help. There is also a need for more general knowledge about defense issues among the populations in Western Europe. This is a personal blog, and the views expressed are solely my own. I do not represent my employer or anybody else on this blog.
About the name
The name of the site, Romeo Squared, is a NATO brevity word that is used within naval warfare to mean “reporting responsibility”. The unit which has Romeo Squared has the obligation to observe the whereabouts of a target and report on significant movements. I thought it would be a fitting name.
About me
I work as a military analyst at the Center for Maritime Operations at the Royal Danish Defence College. In addition to my military education as a naval officer, I also have a master’s degree in educational development. I started my service as a military linguist where I learned the Russian language. That is convenient when trying to decipher the security situation in the Baltic area.
