Western Regional Command (Denmark)
The Western Regional Command ( da, Vestre Landsdelskommando) (known until 1923 as 2nd General Command ( da, 2. Generalkommando)) was the overall command of all Royal Danish Army units in Jutland and on Funen. It was split into four military regions, and was responsible for the regional defence.
