Jegertroppen (English: Hunter Troop) is an all female special operations forces unit of the Special Operations Commando[2] (Norwegian: Forsvarets Spesialkommando) (FSK) of the Norwegian Special Operation Forces (NORSOF) (Norwegian: Forsvarets Spesialstyrker).[1]

Jeger Troop has special reconnaissance (SR) in and around built-up areas as the main focus.[1] The troop was initially created as a one-year pilot program in 2014 by FSK that was later extended for another three years and in 2017 was declared a success.[3][4] It is reported to be the world's first all-female special forces unit.[5]
