The corps was raised on 10 October 1893 by the 1st and 2nd Fortress Company being separated from the 1st Göta Artillery Regiment and formed an independent unit.

The 1st Fortress Company was formed in 1811 from the rubble from the Finnish Artillery Regiment, which had been incorporated into the First Göta Artillery Regiment in connection with the loss of Finland in 1809.

From 10 September 1919, only the battalion in Karlsborg remained, and on 31 December 1919 the regiment was disbanded.

The battalion was formed on 1 September 1906, and was placed in a newly built barracks area along the Åbergsleden.

[4] The regiment never had a colour or standard, but was only identified by the service branch insignia and its colors (yellow and black).
