- It is with great honor I take command over SWEDINT, said Lena Persson Herlitz.

I am looking forward to keep developing our courses to meet the requirement from UN, Nato, EU, AU and other organizations to conduct integrated education and training of staff officers, police officers and civilians in preparation for international missions.

The integration of military, police and civilian personnel is a key issue and SWEDINT works hard to develop the staff procedures in order to facilitate development and cooperation.

SWEDINT is a leading competence centre for Peace Support Operations, characterised by integrated education and training of individuals in a comprehensive international operation and environment including Gender in Military Operations.
