Division (Sweden)

An army division then, apart from some exceptions, consisted of four infantry, one cavalry and one artillery regiment, and one service corps, for which at war, engineer troops were added.

[2] The army division was intended for independent operations, but lacks complete administrative bodies in peacetime.

Sweden was divided into six army division areas in 1904, with command offices in Helsingborg (1st), Linköping (2nd), Skövde (3rd), Stockholm (4th and 5th) and Härnösand (6th).

[2] The army divisions replaced the peacetime subdivision of military districts that was used in the years 1833–1888.

Through the Defence Act of 1977, the army divisions were reduced by two staffs.
