Information about the Swedish Armed Forces and the recruiting unit:

The Swedish Armed Forces are undergoing extensive development work to build a stronger defense against the backdrop of a deteriorating security situation and a new defense political 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, enhance the conditions for mission tactics.

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

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