[3] The Army Ranger Battalion is an elite light infantry unit trained to carry out reconnaissance missions and direct action behind enemy lines.

They employ ambushes and control indirect fire or close air support, as well as survey and document enemy activity to create a basis for higher command's decision making.

Given the light nature of the unit it lacks heavier vehicles and sustained logistics for support, and largely relies on its personnel to move themselves and their equipment as well as supplies over long distances by foot.

The Defence Commission proposed, among other things, that Norrland Dragoon Regiment (K 4) be re-established for the training of Arctic ranger battalions.

The Armed Forces proposed that Norrland Dragoon Regiment should be formed from 2022 by the detachment Army Ranger Battalion (AJB).
