Information about the Armed Forces and the recruiting unit:

The Armed Forces is undergoing extensive development work to build a stronger defense against the backdrop of a deteriorating security situation and new defense policy direction focusing on national defense. Leadership for a stronger defense aims to increase robustness, simplify command and obedience relationships, and through decentralization of mandates and responsibilities, increase the conditions for mission tactics. As part of this work, the Armed Forces has organized a Naval Staff for the leadership of the Naval units. The Naval Staff is established on Muskö in Haninge municipality.

In the 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 conditions for internal career mobility, wellness, and a good balance between work and private life.
