The government considered that the coastal artillery regiment in Vaxholm would constitute the main unit of the Swedish Armed Forces' basic organization.

Given that Vaxholm had an existing infrastructure with a good proximity to the Stockholm archipelago with training areas, which was considered well-dimensioned for the terrain types the unit was expected to operate in.

In the overall assessment, it was considered that greater investments in both Gothenburg and Karlskrona would be required, as they both lacked the type of training area that Vaxholm had.

But also the central location in Western Sweden, seen from a conscript travel perspective, contributed to the coastal artillery regiment in Gothenburg.

[15] After the Riksdag decided that the regiment was to be relocated to Berga Naval Base in Haninge Municipality, the move began on 1 January 2005, and ended on 30 June 2006.

The barracks area is constructed after the design of the 1940 Military Building Investigation, and also includes Berga Castle built in 1915.

Both the naval schools and the helicopter operations were disbanded in Berga through the Defence Act of 2004, which was taken over by the 1st Marine Regiment during a ceremony on 3 October 2005.

[6] The regiment uses the following training areas: Askö, Berga, Korsö, Mellsten, Roten, Stabbo, Tofta, Utö and Väddö.

On 12 June 2003, the regiment was presented with a new colour by His Majesty the King and Prince Carl Philip, Duke of Värmland at Vaxholm Fortress.

Blazon: "On red cloth in the centre the badge of the former Coastal Artillery; two gun barrels of older pattern in saltire between a royal crown proper and a blazing grenade and waves, all in yellow.

The colour was drawn by Kristina Holmgård-Åkerberg and embroidered by hand in insertion technique by Maj-Britt Salander, company Blå Kusten.

The colour was handed over by His Majesty the King, and was received by colonel Peder Ohlsson at the regiment headquarters at Berga.

The colour bears a motif of two gun barrels of older pattern in saltire between a royal crown proper and a blazing grenade and waves.

[21] In 2005, the Amfibieregementets förtjänstmedalj ("Amphibian Regiment Medal of Merit") in bronze (designation: AmfregBM) was established, which was awarded to staff who left in connection with the Defense Act of 2004.
