Genomförandegruppen

Genomförandegruppen ("The Implementation group") was the name of an internal work group that in 2008, within the Reinfeldt Cabinet Office, in Sweden was formed, which, according to a press release later issued by the Cabinet office, had been tasked to "produce decision basis for continued effectivisation of the [Swedish] defence force's materiel procurement".

[1] The Group was also claimed to have been tasked to propose how a "purposive materiel supply adapted to needs of the new intervention defence" could be achieved.

The proposal aimed to reduce costs, aligning with the cabinet's policy favoring market-based solutions, moving from domestic development to '"buy off the shelf' purchasing options, despite criticism that there was no 'Panzermarkt' readily available for such acquisitions.

The group which did not consult military experts within the armed forces, wrote a report made public in 2008 where they presented an extensive list of procurements, projects and studies that were to either be reduced or eliminated.

The Riksrevision's inquiry concluded that the cuts affected defense capabilities significantly and that actual savings were lower than Genomförandegruppen had initially predicted due to unforeseen costs.
