1	Hur kan Svenska Arméns förmåga till kombinerade vapen utvecklas? Karlsson, Anton January 2019 (has links) Sweden is a country that has identified the need to increase its military capabilities due to the ongoing decrease of stability in northern Europe. Russia is being more aggressive, and reports say that the latest military exercises in Russia has been focused on minimizing the time to mobilize large units. This development has led to a political will to expand the number of Swedish brigades that could be used to defend the country. Sweden has a long tradition of maneuver warfare. In the armed force´s handbooks and doctrines, you can find lots of evidence of an ambition to inflict damage on a potential enemy through the principle of combined arms. But are the Swedish armed forces organized in a proper way to do so? The purpose of this essay is to investigate how the current organization could be complemented with a new type of infantry brigades. In doing so this essay is a comparative text analysis of doctrines and handbooks connected to two types of infantry battalions, one old organization from the cold war era and one modern. The results found in this is that the organizations are quite similar. Small differences lead to the conclusion that the modern style battalion organization is preferable, mainly to its organizational focus on delaying operations.

2	Swedish Finnish Naval Task Group : fallstudie i samarbetets innebörd Törner, Carl January 2018 (has links) In recent decades, Sweden's and most of Europe's defense budgets have fallen. It has created a greater need between countries for the cost-effective maintenance of defense capabilities. The Swedish Finnish Naval Task Group (SFNTG) is a part of this trend. It will be operational in 2023 and aims to jointly use the marine forces of the countries in a cost-effective way. In this case study, the cooperation in SFNTG between Swedish and Finnish combat boats is investigated. Based on the increased need for defense cooperation, different concepts for describing and applying collaborations in the short and long term have been created. In this work the term Joint Force Generation was used to analyze the different systems of the Swedish and Finnish combat boats. The term Pooling & Sharing was used to analyze cooperation in the longer term. The purpose is to explore how the political and strategic plans will work on the tactical level of cooperation. Empiricism has been gathered through interviews by officers from both countries. Literature study of reports on the meaning of cooperation have been made. The work was limited to research & development, maintenance, management and material purchases. The interviews showed that the different communicationsystems in the combat boats required extra human resources and a common communicationsystem was desirable. Conclusions are that there are shortcomings of a functioning relationship for the combat boats to meet the requirements of the year 2023. The use of each other's bases as another goal must coordinate logistics, training and warehousing to create better impact. In the longer perspective a greater political understanding must be for the importance of the joint material purchases. The major gain is in cost savings through various forms of collective research development.

4	Beyond the dichotomies of a coercion and voluntary recruitment, Afghan unaccompanied minors unveil their recruitment process in Iran Ali, Rami January 2018 (has links) By shedding light on accounts from unaccompanied Afghan asylum-seeking minors in Sweden who were child soldiers in Syria, this thesis explores and examines their narratives and their involvement in the civil war in Syria. The research aims to create a deeper understanding of how these children themselves made sense of their participation in the war by answering the following questions: How were the children approached by the recruiters? What kind of reasons for joining the war are put forward by the recruiters and what strategies do the children encounter: a) economic; b) identity formation; c) social deprivation; d) feeling of vulnerability; e) militarization; f) mental development; g) ideology/ religious-sectarian; or all together? How do the children perceive these encounters and make sense of their recruitment to the Shiite Fatemiyoun Brigade? To which extent has the ideology of Shi’ism played an important role for them in joining the Syrian War? This is a qualitative study based on in-depth interviews which combines procedures from two approaches and techniques: an ethnographic approach and a narrative approach that explores the interviewees’ experiences in a period of time and also generates detailed insights. Despite the fact that none of the respondents testified for being recruited at gunpoint or having been ill-treated, the respondents emphasized that they were forced to join due to the bad circumstances they were living in. In addition, many similarities with other cases regarding child soldiering in several countries have been explored in this thesis, for instance factors related to the socio- economic context and the experiences that are related to the children’s development processes. Differences can be located in various details regarding ideologies and indoctrination since the respondents did not share the politico-religious purposes of the recruiters.
