Facts about Guards Regiment
SWEDINT
Swedish Armed Forces International Centre, SWEDINT, is a NATO accredited education and training centre that conducts multinational staff training for military, civilian and police personnel. Participants who have completed our training will be equipped to work in multinational and integrated staffs within the framework of NATO, UN and EU.
In addition to courses at the centre, both resident and online courses, SWEDINT conducts and supports courses and training in other countries. The Mobile Education and Training Team (METT) has gathered the skills and technical equipment needed to move a course to another continent. Exchange officers from other Nordic countries work at the centre within the framework of the NORDEFCO cooperation.
On this site you will find information about the education that we offer and how to apply.
As the protection of a safe and secure learning environment and the safeguarding of the well-being of our course participants is a priority for us, changes may occur in our scheduling. We will communicate any change on this website. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at swedint@mil.se.
NCGM
NATO Department Head (DH) for NATO’s Gender in Military Operations Discipline, a NATO-accredited Education and Training Facility and an Expert Centre on Gender in Military Operations and Women, Peace and Security.
NCGM was founded in 2012 as a joint Nordic centre with the purpose to promote the participating Nations’ implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1325, and subsequent resolutions, and to increase the participating Nations’ ability to integrate a gender perspective in military organisations, operations and activities.
While stemming from the Nordic Defence Cooperation (NORDEFCO), NCGM’s participation has expanded over the years. Since the centre was established, three non-Nordic countries have joined: the Netherlands in 2015, Canada in 2017 and Australia in 2023.
In 2013, upon request from NATO, NCGM was officially established as the NATO Department Head (DH) for NATO’s Gender in Military Operations Discipline. Since 2018, NCGM is a NATO-accredited Education and Training Facility. NCGM also carries out the role as an Expert Centre on Gender in Military Operations and Women, Peace and Security.
Sweden is the Host Nation of NCGM.
