The North Scanian Infantry Regiment was raised on 10 December 1811, and its first commander, major general Georg Carl von Döbeln, was appointed on 14 January 1812.

[3] The regiment was roterade (an old feudal method of recruiting[4]) in the northern part of Scania with 522 numbers in Kristianstad County and 462 in Malmöhus County, and it was mainly carried out by using extra roteringen (new formation of regiments from district till then privileged[5]).

[6] From 1816, however, the regiment was allotted and the force was reduced to 1,000 men, while the rotering was extended to parts of Malmöhus County.

Through the Defence Act of 1925, a larger number of regiments were disbanded, which meant that the unit designations in the lower series became vacant.

Through the Defence Act of 1948, the field regiments came to be reorganized into infantry brigades.

This was not done, however, because its area of mobilization lay east of the Ringsjön and with it too far from the regiment in Kristianstad.

[13] The Swedish Army School of Photography (Arméns fotoskola, FotoS), nicknamed the Ökenfortet ("Desert Fort"), was a school within the army that was formed on 1 April 1957.

The school annually trained about 20 photo technicians and 40-50 army photographers.

The regiment moved into the barracks area in October 1920, and ceremony was held on 18 May 1923.

[15] After the regiment was reorganized into an armored unit, several new buildings were erected in connection with the barracks area.

However, it came to be replaced on 11 September 1971, when Crown Prince Carl Gustaf presented a new colour.
