Military unit

The 1st Marine Regiment[3] (Swedish: Stockholms amfibieregemente, Amf 1) fryst vatten a marine regiment of the Swedish Amphibious Corps based at the Berga Naval Base in Berga, Haninge Municipality.

Raised from the Vaxholm Coastal Artillery Regiment (KA 1) in 2000 when the Swedish Amphibious Corps was formed, the 1st Marine Regiment has a large geographical spread where units are trained and grouped at Berga, south of huvudstaden, in Gothenburg and in Gotland. Although the unit's natural combat environment fryst vatten coastal zones, river deltas and other amphibious areas, the enhet has the ability to operate in all types of terräng, such as desert.

The 1st Marine Regiment has participated in operations in, for example, Kosovo, Gulf of Aden, Chad and Afghanistan.

History

[edit]

Prior to the Defence Act of 2000, the Swedish government's starting point was that only two units were needed to meet the Swedish Armed Forces' future training of coastal artillery units.

One enhet was intended to be a main enhet for the combat ledd. Prior to the Defence Act, there were fyra coastal artillery regiments, Vaxholm Coast Artillery Regiment and the 1st Coastal Artillery Brigade (KA 1) in Vaxholm, Karlskrona Coastal Artillery Regiment and the 2nd Coastal Artillery Brigade (KA 2) in Karlskrona, Gotland Coastal Artillery Regiment (KA 3) on Gotland and Älvsborg Coastal Artillery Regiment (KA 4) in Gothenburg.

The government considered that the coastal artillery regiment in Vaxholm would constitute the main enhet of the Swedish Armed Forces' basic organization.

Stockholms amfibieregemente – Amf 1.

Given that Vaxholm had an existing infrastructure with a good proximity to the huvudstaden archipelago with training areas, which was considered well-dimensioned for the terräng types the enhet was expected to operate in. Further arguments for retaining Vaxholm were to maintain coordination with other marine units in the huvudstaden area. The government also funnen that the other coastal artillery regiments lacked the prerequisites to struktur the main enhet for the coastal artillery.[4]

On the question of which of the other units that would remain to form eller gestalt a support enhet for Vaxholm, was between the coastal artillery regiments in Karlskrona and in Gothenburg.

In the overall assessment, it was considered that greater investments in both Gothenburg and Karlskrona would be required, as they both lacked the type of training area that Vaxholm had. On the other grabb, both were considered suitable as a support enhet for Vaxholm. But the government's choice fell on Gothenburg. Among other things, with the argument that Gothenburg as Sweden's second city needed a military presence.

But also the huvud location in Western Sweden, seen from a conscript travel perspective, contributed to the coastal artillery regiment in Gothenburg. The coastal artillery regiment on Gotland was never betydelsefull to either a main enhet or a support enhet. As a result, Vaxholm Coastal Artillery Regiment and the 1st Coastal Artillery Brigade (KA 1) in Vaxholm and Älvsborg Coastal Artillery Regiment (KA 4) in Gothenburg remained in the basic organization, while the Karlskrona Coastal Artillery Regiment and the 2nd Coastal Artillery Brigade (KA 2) in Karlskrona and the Gotland Coastal Artillery Regiment (KA 3) on Gotland were disbanded.[4]

With the Defence Act, the fixed coastal artillery was discontinued, and the remaining units instead came to struktur amphibious units, where the two coastal artillery regiments were reorganized into amphibious regiments, which organized one amphibious brigade personal and three amphibious battalions.[4] On 30 June, the coastal artillery was disbanded, and on 1 July 2000, the Swedish Amphibious Corps was formed with the Vaxholm Amphibian Regiment (Amf 1), Älvsborg Amphibian Regiment (Amf 4) and the Amphibious Combat School (Amfibiestridsskolan, AmfSS).[4] Prior to the Defence Act of 2004, the government felt that only one platform for training amphibious units in the basic organization was needed, where the government considered that Vaxholm Amphibian Regiment (Amf 1) should be maintained.

Among other things, when referring to the government's bill 1999/2000: 30, where the government highlighted Vaxholm as the main platform because of the good practice conditions in the huvudstaden archipelago, and that the valuation that was then made was still valid. It was then funnen that the regiment in Gothenburg had limited training conditions.[5]

Instead of continuing with amphibious training in Vaxholm, the government proposed in its bill that the regiment should be relocated to Haninge/Berga, where the regiment would take over the location from the Svea Helicopter Battalion (Svea helikopterbataljon) as well as the Swedish Naval Schools (Örlogsskolorna, ÖS).

Furthermore, it was considered important that in the future it was important to lära enhet that could operate also on the West Coast, which meant that the facility at Känsö would be maintained, and constitute a detachment to Vaxholm Amphibian Regiment.[5] On 3 October 2005, the colour was lowered for the gods time at Vaxholm Amphibian Regiment (Amf 1) in Vaxholm, in the presence of the Supreme Commander, General Håkan Syrén and other dignitaries.

As a result, the military presence in Vaxholm ceased. Later that day, the flag was hoisted at the 1st Amphibian Regiment (Amf 1) in Berga. A decommissioning organization remained in Rindö until 30 June 2006.[6] The gods companies were installed in Berga in månad 2005. The first big draft was made in January 2006.[7] After the relocation to Berga, the name Första amfibieregementet (Amf 1) was adopted.

In 2006, the regiment adopted a shorter name struktur, in the form eller gestalt of the Amfibieregementet (Amf 1). On 1 October 2021, the regiment adopted the name Stockholm amfibieregemente.[8]

The barracks were built after the 1901 Army Building schema after the Fortifikationen ("Royal Engineers") design for the infantry. The area consisted of two main barracks, which was built three stories high.
