Arméns Fallskärmsjägarskola (FJS) - (Army Parachute Ranger School): FJS provides Ranger and LRRP training for the Army’s Parachute Ranger units. The Parachute Rangers belong to a reconnaissance unit, which during a mission should: first, avoid detection, second, avoid combat and third, fight as silent as possible. They are similar to their British colleagues (The Parachute Regiment) and have, as they, maroon berets. In the event of hostilities Parachute Ranger units would conduct intelligence gathering missions, and raids against high value targets. Lapplands Jägarregemente (I22) - (Lapland Ranger Regiment): Known as Arctic Rangers", the men of the Lapland Ranger Regiment are trained to operate in the arctic Northern regions of Sweden. I22 troops receive extensive training in conducting cold weather operations, and arctic survival skills. During war the I22 Rangers would conduct long-range patrols; long distance raids; and ambushes in enemy rear areas. In late 1999 the Swedish Army announced that I22 would be disbanded. |
