About the Unit

TVK Log is a central actor within the Swedish Armed Forces' logistics management. We are responsible for ensuring that supplies and materiel are available and meet the needs of combat units – in peace, crisis, and war. This also means that we create the prerequisites required for the Swedish Armed Forces' endurance, in areas such as fuel, food, and ammunition.

The unit consists of approximately 120 employees with broad competence in technology, logistics, and management. TVK Log consists mainly of civilian personnel with an even distribution between women and men. The management is located in Boden, but we are represented in several locations across the country. Our work is based on trust, collaboration, and a clear mission – to enable available combat units through the right materiel at the right time.
