Norway, not unrealistically,
counts on the US for its defense.

NATO. Actually in case of war the first to arrive would be
British RAF figher and strike units, followed by USAFE.

Also, isn't AMF(A) still committed to the defence of northern
Norway if the fit hits the shan?

AMF and NCF was dismantled last year, so NRF will probably fulfill
that role in the future. Earmarked reinforments still includes
the UK/NL Amphibious Force and USMC's Norwegian Air Landed
Marine Air Ground Task Force (NALMAGTF), which has predeposition
stocks here.

There is still close cooperation and training with the US and
German batalions that formed NCF though, and our 6th divison
has had much recent contact with US Marine Corps 2nd Marine
Divison and 34th Infantry Division from the Minnesota NG.
