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 international situation and a new defense policy orientation focused on national defense. Leadership for a stronger defense aims to increase robustness, simplify command and control relationships, and increase the conditions for mission tactics through the decentralization of mandates and responsibilities.

As part of this work, the Swedish Armed Forces have organized a Naval Staff to lead the Naval units. The Naval Staff is established in Muskö in Haninge Municipality.

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.

Employment with us involves placement in a security class. Swedish citizenship is usually required.

Security clearance with register check will be conducted prior to employment according to Chapter 3 of the Security Protection Act. Employment entails an obligation to be war-placed.
