About the Unit

The Home Guard combat force is part of the Swedish Armed Forces and constitutes almost half of the armed forces' personnel, operating throughout Sweden. The combat force is experiencing strong growth, with approximately 800 permanent employees and around 24,000 volunteers in the Home Guard units.

The Rikshemvärnstaben is the staff of the Chief of the Home Guard to lead and direct the unit production and develop the combat force.
