List of Swedish regiments

In 1949, the Swedish Army was reorganised, with the regiments being used as training units for conscripts during peacetime.

The new main fighting unit was the brigade, only organised in wartime (with a few exceptions).

The division (fördelning) is not a static organization, but can have brigades assigned and removed when needed, similar to other countries' corps formations.

Regiments are most commonly used in the context of the Swedish Army with the exception of the coastal artillery and naval infantry which belongs to the Swedish Navy.

Storregementen or landsregementen (regiments of the land), these regiments were organized by Gustavus Adolphus in the end of the 1610s from the smaller units fänika and fana raised in the various parts of Sweden during the time of Gustav Vasa: The original provincial regiments (landskapsregementen) were raised by splitting the old grand regiments, forming 20 infantry (actually 21 as Smålands regemente was split into Kronobergs and Jönköpings regemente) and eight cavalry regiments as written in the Swedish constitution of 1634.
