 List of Swedish regiments   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Regiments were the principle fighting unit in the Swedish Army from the time of Gustav II Adolph on to the Second World War.
Many new regiments were also raised by enlisted mercenaries in wartime, for example, only one fifth of soldiers in the Swedish army at the Battle of Breitenfeld were of Swedish or Finnish origin.
The original provincial regiments (''landskapsregementen'') were raised by splitting the old Grand Regiments, forming 20 infantry (actually 21 as Smalandia Regiment was split into Kronoberg and Jönköping Regiments) and eight cavalry regiments as written in the Swedish constitution of 1634.
