The administrative structure includes the peacetime depot units (<i>depåförband</i>), which are responsible for the training, equipment and combat readiness of the forces. Depot units are the army regiments, the air force flotillas, the naval flotillas or the armed forces centers. The depot units generate wartime units (<i>krigsförband</i>), which are transferred to their respective wartime formations, so normally the Swedish army regiments are composed of administrative and training companies during peacetime and their battalions are only formed for exercises and during wartime. The operational units in their entirety are known as the operational organisation of the armed forces (<i>Försvarsmaktens Insatsorganisation</i> (<i>FM IO</i> or just <i>IO</i>, followed by the year it has been introduced in, as <i>IO 2018</i> or just <i>IO 18</i> for example) in Swedish). The operational organisation of the army plans for the training regiments to form two combat brigades (2nd and 3rd Brigades) and a number of independent combat battalions within a few days. This plan, however, was considered by the <a href="/wiki/Supreme_Commander_of_the_Swedish_Armed_Forces" class="mw-redirect" title="Supreme Commander of the Swedish Armed Forces">Supreme Commander</a> to be impossible due to the economic situation at the time.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 2013, the Armed Forces issued a statement saying that the reorganisation would only suffice for a reasonable defence of Swedish territory for one week.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The force was to include the following units:<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>As of 2022 the 1st Division was reintroduced as an operational unit.

<a href="/wiki/Combat_Vehicle_90" title="Combat Vehicle 90">Combat Vehicle 90</a></figcaption></figure> <p>The army on active service during most of the 20th century only consisted of conscript receiving their basic training (at the most one year for privates), and conscripts called up for refreshers (at the most one month for privates) with intervals of at least 4–6 years. During WWII smaller or larger parts of the wartime establishment were also called up for periodical stand-by duty (up to 6 months). The figures for total strength below refer to the total force which could be mobilised. Between the introduction of universal conscription in 1902 until the start of World War II, the army was usually maintained at a consistent strength of 100,000 men, with two-thirds of the force being conscripts for two years. From 1942 onwards, the Swedish government embarked upon a massive and ambitious militarisation program in which conscription was strictly enforced and compulsory service was extended. The basic training for privates was set at 12 months, for future conscript sergeants intended to become platoon leaders (mainly sixth form graduates) 18 months, and for future conscript officers 24 months. These periods were gradually reduced, and the ranks were raised, until it was the same period for all conscripts shortly before conscription was suspended in 2009. This combined with propaganda about conscription being a part of social duty and defending the Swedish principle of <i>folkhemmet</i>, led to an army a size of about 700,000 active duty soldiers that could be mobilised in late 1945. Since the late winter of 1945 the size of the army was slowly decreased as entire reserve battalions and brigades were gradually demobilised, and by late 1947 the size of the army was around 170,000 soldiers who could be mobilised and was planned to stabilise at such a quantity of personnel. </p><p>However, due to the rise in tensions between the East and West over the political landscape of Europe, the threat from the Soviet Union in 1949 and 1950, coinciding with the start of the Cold War, led to a return to the militaristic policy by the Swedish government. From 1950 until around 1976 the size of the army was at an average of 250,000 soldiers with a peak of 400,000 mobilisable soldiers during the late 1950s and early 1960s. The rules were badly enforced, but dodging the draft was punishable with imprisonment. </p><p>During the 1980s the size of the army was around 180,000 soldiers and was slowly increased as time progressed until around 1988. The end of the Cold War led to a massive restructuring of the Swedish Army. Every year after 1988, the Army discharged around 40,000 conscripts and recruited only 20,000, so that by 1995 the size was down to 80,000 soldiers. Around this time the compulsory service obligation was further reduced to 10 months, reserve service became more flexible, and changes made in enforcement so that forceful enforcement became withdrawn as policy. By 2004 the size of the Swedish Army was down to 60,000 soldiers, and in 2013, three years after the end of conscription, the size was at an all-time low of just 16,000 soldiers, though the army plans to reach a level of 50,000 professional soldiers by 2020, mostly through a large media campaigns. A number of previously disbanded regiments will also be re-raised (<a href="/wiki/Dalarna_Regiment" title="Dalarna Regiment">Dalarna Regiment</a>, <a href="/wiki/V%C3%A4sternorrland_Regiment" title="Västernorrland Regiment">Västernorrland Regiment</a>, <a href="/wiki/Norrland_Dragoon_Regiment" title="Norrland Dragoon Regiment">Norrland Dragoon Regiment</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Bergslagen_Artillery_Regiment" title="Bergslagen Artillery Regiment">Bergslagen Artillery Regiment</a>) with the <a href="/wiki/J%C3%A4mtland_Ranger_Corps" title="Jämtland Ranger Corps">Jämtland Ranger Regiment</a> re-raised as a battalion of Västernorrland Regiment.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

In 1812, conscription was introduced for all males between age 20 and 25 to serve in the armed forces twelve days a year, increased in 1858 to four weeks per two years. The allotment system was abolished in 1901 and replaced with universal conscription for all males. All personnel were drafted as conscripts for a year of conscription, after which the unit the soldier trained with was put in reserve. Upon completion of conscript service with sufficient service marks, conscripts are eligible to apply for commissioned officer training, <a href="/wiki/Non-commissioned_officer" title="Non-commissioned officer">NCO/Warrant Officer</a> or from 2007 stay in the Army as a professional <a href="/wiki/Private_(rank)" title="Private (rank)">private</a>, mainly to be employed in the <a href="/wiki/Nordic_Battle_Group" class="mw-redirect" title="Nordic Battle Group">Nordic Battle Group</a>.

The government announced on 2 March 2017 that conscription was going to be reinstated. Of a pool of around 13,000 men and women born 1999, 4,000 were going to be selected for conscription starting January 2018. The government stated that the number of conscripts may increase in response to foreign events.<sup id="cite_ref-23" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-23"><span
