Do you want to help develop the Swedish Armed Forces' artillery?

A 8 is looking for professional and reserve officers for the basic organization who want to make a difference and contribute to a stronger defense - every day.

The Artillery Battalion

The Artillery Battalion's three basic training companies handle the annually recurring conscription cohort in three different time perspectives: 10, 12, and 15 months. All are trained to be able to fulfill our main tasks within the brigade structure, to support maneuver and engage higher command targets. The three different companies focus on sensors and staff duties, gun service, and logistics through the supply company. Although the main purpose, to deliver shells, is the same, the companies differ in their training of their conscript units as part of the artillery battalion.
