Umetnica je idejo za video dobila v 90-tih, ko je na letališču na Norveškem opazila povečano število vojaškega osebja, ki je bilo namenjeno na vojna območja na Balkanu. Pozornost so ji vzbudile vojakinje in sprožile razmišljanja o njihovi pripravljenosti na preživetje, na potencialno spolno nasilje in spolne vloge v vojski in vojni. Pozneje se je seznanila tudi s problematičnimi ravnanji enot ZN na Balkanu (nezakonita preprodaja orožja in drog, spolne zlorabe, korupcija ...).
Video je posnet v prostorih jedilnice likovne akademije v Trondheimu, kjer je umetnica poučevala. Prostori akademije so v industrijski stavbi, ki jo je med 2. svetovno vojno zgradilo podjetje Siemens AG (takrat tesno povezano z nacisti). Vojakinje, ki nastopajo v videu, so z namenom vzpostavljanja tesnobne atmosfere in suspenza dobile navodila, da so oblečene v paradne, reprezentativne uniforme, naj med seboj ne komunicirajo in naj se držijo zase. Umetnica je ta pravila postavila v pričakovanju njihovih kršitev, vzpostavljanja drobnih dogodkov in gest, ki transgresirajo vojaško hierarhijo in razkrivajo drugačne identitete.
Video je del instalacije Situation Report #3, skupaj z zastavami (bannerji) in risbami.
