Tasks
The first role of the Swedish Armed Forces is to defend the nation. We conduct exercises and missions on land, at sea and in the air, 24 hours a day 365 days a year.
The Swedish Armed Forces is always ready to serve. We protect Sweden's borders, and repel those who violate them. We are also prepared to provide assistance to society in the event of a large-scale emergency, such as a forest fire, storm or flood; and assist in searching for missing people.
