Swedish Engineer Troops
The Swedish Engineer Troops ( sv, Ingenjörtrupperna, I) is the engineer branch of the Swedish Army. The Troops were formed after the Defence Act of 1936. Today, it consists of a single unit, the Göta Engineer Regiment (Ing 2) and two schools, the Swedish Army Field Work School (''Fältarbetsskolan'', FarbS) and the EOD School (''Amröjskolan'', AmröjS) History In the 1600s and 1700s, special engineer (or pioneer units) were organized.

In 1811, the ''Fortifikationen'' was amalgamated with the Field Surveying Corps (''Fältmätningskåren'') to the Engineer Corps (''Ingenjörskåren''). This consisted, among other things, of a fortification brigade. In 1867 the Engineer Corps was renamed the ''Fortifikationen''. From 1855, sappe ...

Swedish Army
The Swedish Army ( sv, svenska armén) is the land force of the Swedish Armed Forces.

In 1901, Sweden introduced conscription. The conscription system was abolished in 2010 but reinstated in 2017. Organisation The peace-time organisation of the Swedish Army is divided into a number of regiments for the different branches. The number of active regiments has been reduced since the end of the Cold War. However the Swedish Army has begun to expand once again.

List Of Swedish Regiments
This is a list of Swedish regiments and other military units ( divisions, brigades, battalions, companies) that have existed since the 16th century. Most formations have changed names several times during their existence. Listed here are commonly used names. Regiments were the highest organized organic units in the Swedish Army from the time of Gustavus Adolphus on to the Second World War. In 1949, the Swedish Army was reorganised, with the regiments being used as training units for conscripts during peacetime. The new main fighting unit was the brigade, only organised in wartime (with a few exceptions). The division (''fördelning'') is not a static organization, but can have brigades assigned and removed when needed, similar to other countries' corps formations. For a short background of the Swedish conscription system historically used, see the article on the Swedish allotment system. Grand regiments ''Storregementen'' or ''landsregementen'' (regiments of the land), these ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Engineer Regiments Of Sweden
Engineers, as practitioners of engineering, are professionals who invent, design, analyze, build and test machines, complex systems, structures, gadgets and materials to fulfill functional objectives and requirements while considering the limitations imposed by practicality, regulation, safety and cost. "Science is knowledge based on our observed facts and tested truths arranged in an orderly system that can be validated and communicated to other people. Engineering is the creative application of scientific principles used to plan, build, direct, guide, manage, or work on systems to maintain and improve our daily lives." The word ''engineer'' (Latin ) is derived from the Latin words ("to contrive, devise") and ("cleverness"). The foundational qualifications of an engineer typically include a four-year bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline, or in some jurisdictions, a master's degree in an engineering discipline plus four to six years of peer-reviewed professional ...
