Norrland Anti-Aircraft Battalion

[2] Through the Defence Act of 1942, it was decided to separate the air defense from the artillery, to form its own corps.

[3] Through a Defense Inquiry of 1988, the Swedish government proposed in its bill, among other things, a relocation of the Luleå Anti-Aircraft Regiment to Boden Garrison.

Prior to the bill, the Defense Committee had investigated a relocation of the regiment to Norrbotten Wing (F 21).

When the Defense Committee considered that the financial savings would be of such a magnitude that the facility in Luleå should be closed down.

The old barracks area that was left in Luleå was transformed into a business park and cultural village under the name Kronan.

Through the Defence Act of 2000, the government considered that only four anti-aircraft battalions were needed in the future rapid reaction organisation (insatsorganisation).

This was because the activities at Gotland Anti-Aircraft Corps were considered too limited to be able to develop into a single unit for the country's air defense.

Regarding Norrland Anti-Aircraft Corps, the government judged that it would give serious competence losses in the short term to locate the entire air defense function to Boden.

Prior to the Defence Act of 2004, the government proposed that Norrland Engineer Battalion should be disbanded.
