Planning Officer at F 16, Uppsala Garrison

F 16 is responsible for Uppsala garrison and the operation of Uppsala airport. The wing is also responsible for monitoring Swedish airspace around the clock, all year round, and leads the Air Force's combat aircraft in the air. You will be part of a military organization undergoing significant change and development due to the geopolitical situation and Sweden's NATO membership.

About the Unit

The 163rd Garrison Battalion consists of the Logistics Company, the Garrison Company, and soon also the Training Company, which together create the conditions for assigned units to focus on fulfilling their primary tasks. The battalion's role and tasks are evolving rapidly to meet the new challenges that Sweden and the Armed Forces face.
