Boden Artillery Regiment

On 1 July 1937, an air defense company was added to the regiment, which was later transferred to Luleå Anti-Aircraft Corps (Lv 7).

[9] By the Defence Act of 2000, the Swedish government considered that only four artillery battalions were needed in the future rapid reaction organisation (insatsorganisation).

What spurred a disbandment was great distances and limited opportunities to co-operate with most of the ground forces and schools for officer training.

[11] In the government's balancing of the artillery of the future, it was considered that Kristinehamn had limited operations in one locality.

Regarding Boden, the government considered that the site had a more suitable infrastructure and general skills for artillery training.

Furthermore, it was considered that locating the artillery to Boden would secure the service branch's subarctic capability.

On 23 May 2005, a joint disbandment ceremony was conducted for the battalions in Boden affected by the Defence Act.

When the unit was raised in 1909 as Boden Artillery Battalion, it was located to a newly erected barracks area along the Åbergsleden.

On 20 December 2005, the Norrland Artillery Battalion marched symbolically into its new barracks area on Sveavägen.

This was in connection with the battalion being amalgamated into the Artillery Regiment, which had been relocated from Kristinehamn to Sveavägen in Boden from 31 December 2005.

[2] A new colour was presented to the unit in Kristinehamn by His Majesty the King Carl XVI Gustaf on 15 April 2002.

It was drawn by Kristina Holmgård-Åkerberg and embroidered by machine in insertion technique by Sofie Thorburn.
