The Minister of Defense is very pleased that the regiment in Arvidsjaur has now reopened and believes that this type of training in the subarctic climate is needed in the future.

The business is doubled

- We have winter education here and a special competence that is important and not only for the Swedish Armed Forces, but also in a Nordic perspective.

We double the volume of staff that handles these types of issues.

The number of employees will increase by 50 people, but in terms of education there will be a doubling of the business, says Peter Hultqvist.
