It was during a visit to the regiment that the Military Service Council discovered several shortcomings requiring immediate action, reports SVT News West.
Conscripts are said to have been collectively punished by being ordered to stand in line after some individuals forgot their weapons.
Oscar Peterson, colonel and unit commander at Amf 4, believes these were isolated incidents and that there is no systematic problem with punishments at the regiment.
But I see the negative aspects as significant, he tells SVT.
The regiment is also criticized for exposing conscripts to health risks when they carried out weapon maintenance using a harmful chemical without the right protective equipment.
