Norrland Dragoon Regiment K 4 in Arvidsjaur is one of Sweden's new regiments, but has a long and distinguished history. The unit can operate and function in all environments in Sweden. The combat capability in the subarctic environment is the regiment's core and specialty.

K 4 is now looking for a unit economist based in Arvidsjaur, who wants to be part of creating an organization in growth. The position is placed at the finance department (G8) under the regimental staff.
