The Swedish Civil Defense Center, SkyddC, in Umeå is the Armed Forces' knowledge center for protection against radiation, contagion, and toxic substances, known as CBRN events. The unit not only develops the Armed Forces' units in the area but also ensures capability within the Armed Forces' other components. SkyddC therefore works with both training and development issues and is responsible for maintaining national and international readiness in the area. The center's function is joint defense, which means ongoing cooperation with several authorities within our area of expertise. At SkyddC, more than 140 civilian and military employees work. The unit's budget amounts to approximately 140 million kronor per year.

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