Försvarsmakten (Swedish Armed Forces)
Försvarsmakten, or the Swedish Armed Forces, is Sweden’s national military organization responsible for defending the country, its citizens, and interests. It comprises the Army, Navy, and Air Force, focusing on national security, peacekeeping, and humanitarian missions both within Sweden and internationally. The armed forces conduct training, maintain readiness, and collaborate with allied nations, especially within NATO frameworks. Sweden emphasizes a defensive posture, civilian-military cooperation, and preparedness without seeking to project power aggressively. It also supports rescue operations and emergency services during crises, ensuring Sweden's sovereignty and safety through trained personnel and modern equipment.
