scary and cranky

To torment Hiro even more, Fältjägare are not airborne, that's Falskärmsjägare :lol:

(No offense meant)

I dunno about Livgardet but, yeah, they might be made up of regulars. Thing is, Livgard means roughly Bodyguard, or Royal Guard in this case.

I think that the foregin fighting drops on the Skyttesluskar (swedish for grunts), so a Infantry squad would be Skyttegrupp (wich means rifle squad) rahter than Livgardet, but I don't know much about the Livgard and it might be that you're correct Hiro.

Anyone else than me who thinks we have drifted a little from the subject (an most interesting drift if I may say so myself though)?

Do I look like someone who can understand your twisted, sadistic language?

Infantry Corps:
One Battalion of Infantry Troops:
- Livgardet (LG) located in Stockholm/Kugsangen

Feel free to correct me on this.

that's the "royal guard"

 

[Hiromoon]

So? Are you saying your King can't take on PLA and MEA forces?

 

[Col_stone]

our king rocks 8)
even though he's just a symbolic head of state, he's pretty cool imho

kristovich is right about the infantynames as far as i know

oh, to help a little here, Fallskärmsjägare=Paratrooper
and i also think that they all count as regular army.

Well, you did see the source I was working on.....before I bothered even looking anything up I knew you guys made kicking automobiles and pretty decent aircraft.

Are you sure? We was told that when you "mönstrar" (conscription?) you have to score A to become a Fallskärmsjägare or Fältjägare, while a regular grunt was a B (maybe it was 5 for Jägare and 4 for grunt, I don't remember all to well)

Do I look like someone who can understand your twisted, sadistic language?

Well, helmets don't speak as far as I'm aware :wink:

Anyhow, as far as I'm aware Fältjägare (for example) are counted as units of their own, yet they may be counted as regular army, I dunno.

 

[Col_stone]

they're part of the regular army, not part of the aviation or marine arm so to speak.
Still different training etc

 

[Kristovich]

Now I see what you meant
