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 focusing on national defense. Leadership for a stronger defense aims to increase robustness, simplify command and control conditions, and increase the prerequisites for mission tactics through the decentralization of mandates and responsibilities.

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

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.

An employment with us implies placement in a security class. Swedish citizenship is usually required.
