As a young soldier Lyng received training from SAS,[2] this training among other, enabled him to help establish and complete training for Jægerkorpset.[1][3]
Since his retirement, Lyng received criticism for failing to cut spending of the Danish forces after the fall and the USSR,[2] likewise his retirement party received criticism for its frivolous spending, which featured gun salutes from the navy, overhead flights by the Air Force, and entertainment by the Guard Hussar Regiment Mounted Squadron for the 600 party guests.[4]
