Introduction:  
=============  
The Swedish Armed Forces (Swedish: Försvarsmakten) is a Swedish Government Agency (Swedish: Myndighet) responsible   
for the operation of the armed forces of the Realm. The primary task of the agency is to train, organize and to   
deploy military forces, domestically and abroad, while maintaining the long-term ability to defend the Realm in the   
event of war. The Supreme Commander (Swedish: Överbefälhavaren), a four-star general or flag officer is also the   
head of said agency, and he is the highest ranking professional officer on active duty. The Supreme Commander in turn   
reports through the Minister for Defence to the Government of Sweden (Swedish: Regeringen).  
  
There are three service branches: the Army (Swedish: Armén), the Air Force (Swedish: Flygvapnet) and the Navy   
(Swedish: Marinen), all of whom are since 1994 part of the same agency.  
  
Sweden s military forces was for over a century built upon the concepts of conscription and territorial defence,   
supporting the longstanding national policy of non-alignment. Until the end of the Cold War nearly all men reaching   
the age of military service were conscripted. In summer 2010 peacetime conscription ceased, to be replaced with   
contracted personnel altogether. The transfer to the new system will be fully completed in 2018.  
Units from the Swedish Armed Forces are currently on deployment in Afghanistan (ISAF) and Kosovo. Moreover, Sweden   
contributes with military observers in various countries and serve as the lead nation for an EU Battle Group   
approximately once every three years.
