The Icelandic Crisis Response Unit or Íslenska Friðargæslan, is a paramilitary unit operated by the Icelandic Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It is primarily designated for peacekeeping operations and has been on peacekeeping operations in former territories of Yugoslavia, Kosovo, Afganistan and Sri Lanka


Iceland sent its first peacekeepers in 1950, when two Icelandic policemen were sent to Palestine as a part of an UN peacekeeping operation. Since then Icelandic specialists have taken part in various peacekeeping operations, mostly within the UN, but recently also within NATO

  • What an amusing thought that Iceland could be descended from Irish slaves....

    The basic fact is that the IcelandERS are descended from the greatest western Norwegian Vikings who stole all the beautiful women in Britain and Ireland and made lots of Icelandic kids with them of course... Read history and learn!

  • @PesiCool Er þú að segja að allar útlenskar byssur séu drasl? Þá veistu ekki mikið um þær + að þá væru allar byssur drasl sem er BS.

  • We get our guns from Norway. Cooperate on security. Remember, Denmark and Norway used to be one country before Napoleon wars, and Iceland belonged to Denmark.

  • Iceland loves old stuff, I once read that we used Lee Einfields 303 until very recently, not to mention very old cannons of year 1891 design until 1990.

  • Heja Norge. Norge gives us lots of free guns!¨Nice
