Information about the Swedish Armed Forces and the recruiting unit:
The Government and the Riksdag have tasked the Swedish Armed Forces with strengthening Sweden's defense capability, in a time of uncertain global developments. Bergslagens Artillery Regiment, A 9, is therefore to be re-established in Kristinehamn. The regiment will contribute to increased geographical presence, training of conscripts, and thereby the development of artillery capability in southern Sweden. 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 programs, and a good balance between work and private life.
