Through the Defence Act of 1936, the air defense took on a more independent role in the artillery, which resulted in, among other things, a number of anti-aircraft divisions being organized.

The detachment came with the organizational change being renamed to Östgöta Anti-Aircraft Regiment's Battery on Gotland (Lv 2 G).

[4] Prior to the Defence Act of 1958, the Swedish government proposed to the Riksdag that Östgöta Anti-Aircraft Regiment should be disbanded and its training contingent allocated to the remaining air defense units.

This led, among other things, to exempting the Östgöta Anti-Aircraft Regiment's Battery on Gotland (Lv 2 G) for investigation for decommissioning.

The two barracks areas were separated by a road, and were basically a mirror image of each other, with their own canteen, their own storage room, their own hospital and their respective mess and so on.

Svea Artillery Regiment was moved from Rissne, Sundbyberg to Linköping in the spring of 1963, and took over the barracks in the eastern part.

In 1997, all the remaining units in the garrison were disbanded, and the double barracks area was sold to the state real estate development company Vasallen.

The division was located at Gustav Adolfsskolan on Södra Järnvägsgatan, as well as with staff at Hotel Knaust on Kyrkogatan and in Tingshuset on Storgatan.

From 1 October 1942, the detachment was separated from the regiment, forming Sundsvall Anti-Aircraft Corps (Lv 5).

When the regiment was disbanded, the detachment in Visby became an independent unit under the name Gotland Anti-Aircraft Division (Lv 2).
