Swedish helicopter wing trains reservists in Kvarn

Key Points
  • 110 reservists are undergoing military refresher training at Markstridsskolan in Kvarn.
  • This is the largest group of reservists trained by the Helicopter Wing in modern times.
  • The training is part of the wing's expansion of its war organization.

The Helicopter Wing in Linköping is training more conscripts, who are often placed in the wing's growing war organization. This means more people will be called to war unit courses, known as refresher training. On Thursday, 110 men and women put on uniforms to refresh and sharpen their military skills over a few days at the Markstridsskolan in Kvarn.

This is the largest group of reservists the wing has had in modern times. The mood is very good, with a lot of laughter despite temperatures of -10 degrees Celsius and snow falling vertically in Kvarn, according to Robert Daremo, captain and commander of the 313th ground defense company. Participants expressed enthusiasm and readiness for the training.
