According to the Defence Act of 1925, a tank battalion was organized, which was placed to Göta Life Guards (I 2).

Parallel attempts were made with armored cars in the cavalry between 1925 and 1942 and with motorized brigade between 1940 and 1942.

[1] The four armored brigades – Pbrig m/43 – were created to meet the need for powerful attack units that could break through a defensive position and quickly proceed behind enemy lines.

The brigades would be trained and organized by the aforementioned four regiments:[2] Two educational institutions were also formed, the Swedish Armoured Troops School (PS) – located at P 4, and the Swedish Armoured Troops Officer Candidate School (POAS) – located at P 3 – later to P 1.

[2] The design of the field brigades, together with newly acquired war experiences from World War II, resulted in the 1949 parliamentary decision that also Svea Life Guards (I 1) in Sörentorp, Älvsborg Regiment (I 5) in Borås and the South Scanian Infantry Regiment (I 7) in Ystad were converted to armoured infantry regiments under the Inspector of the Swedish Armoured Troops' jurisdiction to ensure a unified training closely related to the existing armoured regiments and a joint brigade production of five brigades – Pbrig 49.

[4] This brigade organization with, among other things, different rates of movement between the tanks and armoured infantry battalions (the main part on military bicycles) reduced the brigade's attack power and was quickly outrun by international development with its demands for higher standards, mobility and constant division in the battlefield.

[5] In order to increase the attack force of the armoured brigade, extensive materiel and organizational experiments were carried out in the early 1960s.

[6] The final product became Pbrig 63 with armoured battalions consisting of two self-propelled panzergrenadier companies (Pansarbandvagn 301 and later Pansarbandvagn 302) and two tanks with either Centurion (Stridsvagn 101, 102) or the unconventionally Swedish-built S-Tank (Stridsvagn 103) as main tank and its own artillery (10.5 cm howitzer).

Pbrig 63, with its mobile, firepower, integrated and combat technology well thought out organization, attracted great international interest and praise.

Sweden was also given the opportunity to acquire used Leopard 2A4 (Stridsvagn 121) at a low price, which would replace the Centurion's in the mechanized brigades.

[19] Over the years, the inspector had largely retained the areas of responsibility he was initially assigned, but in an expanded and changed form.

Type unit and functional responsibilities as well as the introduction of new equipment and combat vehicles were some of the inspector's most important tasks.

[20] Human resources were another very important part where the inspector was individual planning responsible for lieutenant colonels and majors who had completed the Swedish Armed Forces Staff College's higher course (except the Chief of the Army's commanders' group) and the last certifying commander for these.
