[7] He was promoted to senior colonel in 1982 and was appointed Chief of Staff of the Western Military District (Milo V) in Skövde.

[9] In Commander Hans von Hofsten [sv]'s memoirs I kamp mot överheten ("In Battle Against the Authority"), Enberg is accused of filtering out sensitive information in the submarine reports regarding foreign submarines in Swedish waters, and of withholding important facts from the Supreme Commander, General Bengt Gustafsson and the Social Democratic government.
