It is the Air Defense Regiment Lv 6 in Halmstad that has been tasked with establishing a unit on Gotland starting July 1.
"The security situation requires capability here and now, alongside continued adaptation. This applies to the army in general and Gotland in particular," Army Chief Johan Pekkari says in a press release.
The plan is to begin basic training for air defense units on the island next year. The regiment in Halmstad is currently the only one of its kind, and the armed forces see a need to train in more places.
"To manage the major expansion of air defense, we need more people working in air defense, and education is the foundation for that," says Sofia Westermark, commander of the Air Defense Regiment, in the press release.
