Marinejegerkommandoen (MJK) (English: Naval Special Operations Command) is the maritime/naval special warfare unit of the Norwegian Armed Forces[2] and was established in 1953.[3]

The MJK is under the command of the Norwegian Special Operations Command (NORSOCOM)[4] together with the Forsvarets Spesialkommando (FSK), with the MJK being the older of the two units. The unit is headquartered on the Ramsund naval base in northern Norway, with other MJK operators stationed on the Haakonsvern naval base in southwestern Norway.
