English translation:'reccy' / reconnoitering company
Explanation:
My hunch from GB Military speak is that is neither an 'observation' nor 'surveillance', but a 'reccy' - reconnoitering / reconnaissance company or brigade. I seem to recall there are Norwegian military ex-servers on ProZ.

Example sentence(s):
  • På enkelte felter som patrulje,-observasjons- og meldetjeneste, hadde brigaden. Kompaniet klarte derfor sine oppgaver rimelig bra.
  • IATE: da overvågning COM observation COM rekognoscering COM en reconnaissance
