Ove Ljung

[1] He belonged to an officer course, which, due to the increasingly threatening world political situation, had a dramatic shortening of their education in order to join units and strengthen the Swedish preparedness.

In 1959 Ljung attended the Swedish National Defence College and in 1960 he was appointed head of the Organization Department of the Army Staff.

Ljung held this post until 1974 when he retired from the military and was appointed Director General of the Defence Materiel Administration.
