“We are not rearming because we want war, destruction, or suffering. We are rearming right now to avoid war and in a world where the international order is being challenged,” Frederiksen told reporters on Wednesday, indirectly referring to Russia’s military moves in recent years and months.

This means Denmark will be the third European country where both men and women have compulsory military service, after Norway and Sweden. What is more, the military service is planned to last 11 months instead of 4 as it used to be. Basically Denmark plans to invest more into military sector, I guess due to the NATO raports giving advices to spend more GDP on it.
