The green field is soldiers. The blue field is officers. The officers are divided into company officer (fenrik to captain), stabsoffiser (major to brigader). Fenrik was called second lieutenant earlier, while lieutenant was called premier lieutenant. The title brigader is not an old tradition in the Norwegian military ranks and was instated as a replacement for oberst I.
Grenaders and matroses are soldiers that have signed one or more three year contracts.
