DR said a Danish military order last week said soldiers in Greenland should be equipped with live ammunition.

(…)

The deployment was officially a part of the Danish-led military exercise Arctic Endurance — which Copenhagen has said will continue „throughout large parts of the coming year.“

A few days after Trump announced that the United States would get Greenland „one way or the other“, eight European countries sent several dozen troops to Greenland, officially to prepare for the exercise.

Some have since departed, including a group of about 15 Germans and some Swedes, while others continue to arrive.
