Land Warfare Centre (Sweden)

[4][5] The combat schools were disbanded on 31 December 1998, and in its place, the Land Warfare Centre was formed on 1 January 1999.

The Land Warfare Centre educates the future commanders of the Swedish Armed Forces with the help of advanced training facilities, teachers and knowledge.

It also educates and develops the Swedish Armed Forces' officers in the various areas of ground warfare.

The camp in Kvarn is located at Prästtomta proving ground where the Swedish Armed Forces also erected Sweden's largest facility for urban warfare.

[9] In 2011, colonel Michael Claesson began work on developing a colour for the Land Warfare Centre.

Black colour is, however, otherwise rare in the Swedish Armed Forces – and have not been carried in Sweden since the Thirty Years' War in the 17th century.

[11] On 19 September 2015, the colour was presented to the Land Warfare Centre by His Majesty the King Carl XVI Gustaf during a ceremony in Skövde.

The colour is based on the colors, yellow, white and black which symbolizes the school's history and origin from the infantry, cavalry and the Swedish Armoured Troops.
