[2][3][4] By the 1901 Defense Reform, the regiment was raised on 1 January 1902, by a merger of the Småland Grenadier Corps and Blekinge Battalion.

[3] When the unit was raised in 1902 it would be placed to newly built barracks area at Gräsvik in northern Karlskrona.

The barracks establishment was constructed according to the 1901 Army Building Plan after the Fortifikationen's ("Royal Engineers") design for the infantry.

After the battalion was disbanded in September 1939, the barracks came to host units of the Landstorm before they were taken over by Karlskrona Coastal Artillery Regiment (KA 2).

After the regiment moved into barracks in 1906, Bredåkra Heath came until 1916 to remain as a training area.

[2] The regiment had two marches, "Finska rytteriets marsch" (unknown) and "Erzherzog Albrecht" (Komzak).

Therefore, Karlskrona Grenadier Regiment never got the battle honours that it were actually entitled to on their own colour.
