The Swedish Armed Forces' Special Forces

The Swedish Armed Forces' special forces are a military strategic resource that increases the number of possible courses of action. An operation with special forces is characterized by a high impact at the security policy level. This may involve rescuing or freeing Swedish citizens in international service or gathering intelligence. Within the special forces, we strive for simplicity in both planning and execution, unpredictability through unconventional methods, as well as determination, precision, and decisiveness. The readiness is high, and the personnel are specially selected, trained, and equipped to handle their tasks.

Every day and every hour, our employees make contributions that affect other people's lives, both in large and small ways, and both at home and around the world.

The Swedish Armed Forces offer you the opportunity to develop as a person and grow in your professional role. We are a responsible employer and have an open organization where we support each other.

In the Swedish Armed Forces, there is a strong value base built on openness, results, and responsibility. Professional development and personal health are valued and encouraged. There are good opportunities for internal career mobility, wellness programs, and a good balance between work and private life.

An employment with us means placement in a security classification. Usually, Swedish citizenship is required. A security clearance with a background check will be conducted prior to employment according to Chapter 3 of the Security Protection Act. Employment also includes an obligation to be placed in a war situation. The implications of this vary depending on the type of position.
