	Swedish Army Regiments
		The Swedish Army is an army of conscripts - every Swedish male from 18 to 47 years of age could be forced to serve in the armed forces, and until a few years ago most did.
		The Swedish Army is formed from brigades - each infantry or tank regiment is responsible for the training of one brigade.

	Main Document - Swedish-Russian War
		The army and the navy continued to argue over the fact that the coastal fleet was under army command though but there were good opinions raised in favour for the army.
		The Swedish galley was possibly the most beautiful ship of the entire navy, the slim and beautiful forms of the galley-types were designed for maneuverability, and the Swedish navy had even been sending officers to the Mediterranean to study the galleys used by the navies of those areas.
		The second division of the Swedish navy at Öland did not reach the fighting in time, this mainly due to the fact that its commander, Per Lilliehorn, did not follow orders to attack (for which he was later put to trial, convicted and barely escaped death as his life was spared by the government).

		Occasionally, the Swedish MPs have a chance to apply their civilian knowledge to military problems and share some of their civilian experiences with MPs who have been limited to the military side of the fence.

		On paper the Swedish army in 1805 comprised of 2.400 officers and 52.000 other ranks and 4.000 in the reserve, but there were many vacancies, and due to poor economy the army's training had been neglected.

		Swedish losses for both these battles were less than 30 killed and wounded, while the Prussians lost as many as 7.000 in the battle of Dennewitz alone.

		The Swedish archipelago is a very easy target for enemy bases and stuff like that, so the Coastal Rangers is specially trained to "throw the enemy back in the sea".

	The Union's Last War: The Russian-Swedish war of 1808-09
		While Swedish generals like Adlercreutz, Georg Karl von Döbeln, and Johan August Sandels were more than a fair match to their Russian commanders, the high command of the Swedish Army was often stiff, conservative and buried in its own bureaucracy.
		The traditional uniform of the Swedish Army was in blue and yellow, but during the era of Gustav IV Adolf, the army had also been experimenting with grey uniforms.
		The honour of being a soldier was not felt in the Russian Army, as it was in the Swedish.

	Swedish Army Key Product Reviews
		If you are entranced by the classic vertical key, you feel nostalgic for the things of the past, if you don’t care about bug and paddle and yet you are fascinated by all things mechanic, the Swedish “pump” key is what you’re looking for.
		So here I am with the Swedish as my favorite key, treating it as if it had a soul of its own, eagerly claiming the status of main key.
		On a final note, my own piece (#6831) — bought some time ago from Morsex — is a bit uneven in the connection between wood and metal, thus causing a slight misalignment in the upper contact, which is normally open.
