The Swedish Armed Forces are undergoing extensive development work to build a stronger defense against the background of a deteriorating international situation and a new defense policy orientation focusing on national defense. Leading 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.

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.
