Swedish Army Company Officer School

Through the Defence Act of 1925, it was decided that the Swedish Army's education of non-commissioned officers would be centralized to a school, the Swedish Army Non-Commissioned Officer School (Arméns underofficersskola, AUS), which was formed on 1 July 1926 in Stockholm.

[2] At the school, a 3-year general education program for permanent employees of the army and the Swedish Coastal Artillery was organized.

[1] In 1944, the Swedish Armed Forces School for Secondary Education was established and students from all service branches were given the opportunity to receive a realexamen or studentexamen.

Among other things, the FFU had carried out an extensive investigation into the new location for the Swedish Army Company Officer School.

Eight garrisons had been investigated for the purpose of relocating the school, four of these towns, Karlstad, Linköping, Skövde and Örebro, were considered to have better conditions than the others.

[3] However, the school never moved from Uppsala, but was disbanded on 30 September 1983 in connection with the Ny befälsordning ("New Command System") reform.

[1] When the school was formed it was co-located with Göta Life Guard (I 1) at the barracks establishment on Linnégatan in Stockholm.

From 10 September 1928, the entire school was transferred to Uppsala where they took over the barracks establishment from Uppland Artillery Regiment at the then Stockholmsvägen (present-day Dag Hammarskjölds väg).

[4] From 1982, parts of the barracks establishment at Polacksbacken were taken over, in connection with Uppland Regiment moving to Enköping.
