“The army will miss brigadmålet”

“the Army’s goal for 2020 is to have two large units – brigades – about 4 500 soldiers in, among other things, tanks and other combat vehicles, but the goal will not be achieved, reports the SVT news. In an interview with SVT says the army chief Karl Engelbrektson that more time is needed.”

” We have a clear plan and if the resurssätts so we can execute the goal, but it requires more time than 2020.”

“Now there are only a brigade in Sweden, the other is not complete, and samtränad.”

“Robert Dalsjö, research leader at the Swedish Defence research agency, FOI, is critical.”

“– The most serious lack at the moment is that about half of the organization we have on paper are in reality. It could be remedied with more money. The next shortcoming is that the organisation that we have on paper, at least, is only half as big compared with what we would need, “says Robert Dalsjö to SVT”
