[3] In 1923, the staff of the Swedish Army Veterinary Corps was made up of active duty personnel, half-pay officers (reservstat) and military reserve.
The reserve staff constituted veterinarians who, with the right to a supplementary pension, resigned from active service or applied to depart from such active service, were admitted to the reserve and veterinarians who received their first employment.
[4] Veterinarians in the military reserve were obliged to service as veterinarian as half-pay officers and, in addition, were required to complete rehearsal training, partly after recruitment, and subsequently every three years until the age of 40 years.
[4] The eldest battalion veterinarian on active service could be assigned the captain's rank.
The staff in the Swedish Army Veterinary Corps, as well as the half-pay officers held corresponding employment positions.
As of 1 July 1937, the Swedish Army Veterinary Corps' part of the Defence Act of 1936 came into force.
