The Swedish Armed Forces' special forces are a military strategic resource that increases the number of possible courses of action. An operation with the special forces is characterized by high impact at the security policy level. This can involve, for example, freeing or rescuing Swedish citizens in international service or gathering intelligence. Within the special forces, we strive for simplicity in both planning and execution, unpredictability through unconventional methods, as well as purposefulness, precision, and determination. The readiness is high and the personnel are specially selected, trained, and equipped to handle their tasks.

Every day and every hour, our employees carry out operations that affect other people's lives, both big and small, both at home and around the world.

The Swedish Armed Forces give you the opportunity to develop as a human being and grow in your professional role. We are a responsible employer and have an open organization where we support each other. In the Swedish Armed Forces, there is a strong value base built on openness, results, and responsibility.

We therefore welcome applicants with different backgrounds and experiences in our recruitment. Employment with us involves placement in a security class. Swedish citizenship is usually required.
