The commander of Dancon is usually the commander of the hierarchically biggest military unit associated with the specified mission, and does not have a headquarters of its own, but rather it is that military unit's headquarters.

Dancon/Irak
Dancon/Irak (short for ''Danish Contingent/Irak'') was a Danish ground contingent deployed to Iraq from June 2003 to July 2007.

MND (SE) is a British-run division containing units from several other European nations. Dancon arrived in Kuwait on 2 June 2003, and reached its Area of Responsibility (AOR) in Iraq on 6 June 2003.
