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

In the Swedish Armed Forces, there is a strong value base based 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. Usually, Swedish citizenship is 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.
