On the national security front, the government is now appointing an investigation to analyze the need for Swedish conscripts in NATO's collective deterrence and defense across the entire conflict scale. The investigation's analysis should cover the need to be able to use fully trained war-placed conscripts, as well as conscripts undergoing training. If the need cannot be met with today's regulations, the investigator should consider a new type of service. According to the government, the investigation should be ready by April 26, 2027. The specific new type of service that might be considered has not been detailed.
In a related development, the Conscript Congress has decided on the position that conscripts undergoing basic training should not replace employed personnel in NATO service.
