I was a communicationsoldier (i know) within the swedish marine. I dont understand why its "NUTS" that whole group fail when only one guy is responsible for a misstake. Nothing is stronger then its weakest link.
It’s certainly not nuts and I think that type of collectivist mindset is common in armed forces all over the world. My first day of military service we were tasked to put our kit together. We were given a specific number of seconds to fasten each item. I was really fast, finished fast and felt great about myself. When the time was up, the recruit on my right was still struggling. The sergeant came up to us. With a blank expression he told the other recruit “continue” then he just stared at me. “Why did this recruit fail to complete his task on time?” I didn’t know what to say so I just said the first thing I could think of “he just wasn’t fast enough sergeant” The way the he looked at me told me instantly that I was somehow an idiot but I didn’t understand why I was an idiot. Then he told me “This recruit failed to complete his task on time because YOU didn’t help him. You failed your teammate. I can’t make a soldier out of someone who just looks out for himself. Never, ever fail your teammate like this again.” That lesson stays with me. I’m that guy who always asks his colleagues if there’s something I can do to help the team whenever I have a second to spare. Even as a civilian. And that’s why I love working with people who’ve at least gone through basic.

Å andra sidan ser jag nu att båtens benämning på engelska faktiskt ÄR Combat Boat 90. Men, om någon frågade MIG vad den BORDE heta så skulle jag säga Battleboat. Men som sagt...
Roughly 5500 coastal rangers have been trained since the beginning in 1956/57, when the Coast Artillery Close Quarters Battle School merged into "Kustjägarna" (/"Coastal Rangers"). Divers were specialized in long range covert recon/sabotage, roughly 160 these have been trained. The navy hade their own combat/attack divers until 1983, so for a few decades we hade two separate schools for attack/combat divers. The rangers have to earn both the green beret and the trident, in different tests, were emphasis are on long marches w/ heavy rucks (mine usually weighed ~65kgs + ~30kgs assault vest/weapon/ammo/etc) with no sleep and several tasks, distance canoeing, speed marches, survival and SERE training (introducing soviet interrogation techniques), distance swimming, assault courses...and so on. The KJ conscripts were all volounteers, because of the extremes of the training (like the parachute rangers). Conscription lasted 15 months (ranger squad leaders) or 10 months (rangers). Until 1990, the coastal rangers formed 8 independent ranger companies, which were deployed all along the 2700km long coastline, some far up in the arctic regions. In 1990, 6 Amphibious Battallions were formed, each with 2x Ranger Companies, 1 Mortar Coy and other elements including attack/combat divers, Hellfire missile platoons, staff- and mine platoons. Later the AMFBATs were reformed (Org 2010), the ranger companies were reduced and more specialized in recon/sabotage (classic commando tasks) and the assault/raid tasks were assigned to Amphibious Rifle Coys, similar to USMC. From 2014, the conscription was scrapped, and the swedish defense was professional only, and to apply to the rangers you needed to have been employed for at least 2 years. In 1994, a desicion was made, in typical swedish manners, where no one should be 'better' than any other, the trident was moved from the beret to a piece of cloth on the shoulder (which can be seen in your video). And somewhere along the way, the green beret went to be only a piece of cloth on the head on those who served in the marines, not everyone had to pass the tests, which kind of diluted its value. I was on KJ -94, the last rangers with the trident in the beret.
Att syftet var att ”ingen är bättre än någon annan” stämmer inte. Anledningen var att baskern ändrade syfte och istället skulle visa förbandstillhörighet, inte nödvändigtvis utbildning (FJS har fortfarande deras vinröda baskrar men dock av internationell tradition). Därför infördes utbildningstecken istället. Treudden är fortfarande precis lika prestigefylld, men istället för att den bärs på baskern bärs den istället på axeln, likt jägarbågen, Torleif och likt utländska förband (exempelvis U.S Army Rangers och Brittiska Royal Marine Commandos). Dessutom har kustjägarna fortfarande kvar den guldiga treudden, men endast på bröstet på finuniformen M/87.

As someone who has met several Kustjägare/Coastal Rangers in real life I can safely say that some of the facts in this video are wrong (and some are correct!). 1. Back in the days of universal consciption you could apply to the Costal Rangers without having served in the armed forces. That has now changed. Perhaps to make the unit more professional. 2. The green beret with the trident was the unique insignia for the Costal Rangers. It was later changed to the Viking 'Thorleif' which is universal for all serving in the Amphibious Regiment (after completing Exercise Amfibie of course). The trident is now either worn on on the right arm as a shoulder patch or on the chest of the mess dress. 3. If the Trident has its forks turned inwards when on the mess dress it means that the person is a qualified Combat Diver. 4. In the days of the Coastal Artillery there was no mobile marine units until the creation of the Coastal Rangers. Their mission was to eject any foreign invaders from islands that had been taken over. A common saying is/was that a Coastal Rangers life-expectancy was somewhere around 2 minutes. 5. There are two green berets within the Swedish Armed Forces. The lighter green (commando green) one belongs to the Amphibious Regiment. A more dark green one is a universal beret for cavalry (light, mobile units) within the armed forces (such as the 31st Air Assault or the Army's Ranger Battalion).
Correction: It's "commando-green", same color as other marine/amphibious-unit's berets internationally.. it's not the same color as any other swedish unit's berets.
När jag tog min basker 2000 så hade vi Torleif på armen och m/92 KA1 på baskern. När bytte de till att ha Torleif på baskern? Kustjägarna och attackdykarna hade fortfarande sina två olika treuddar på baskern då.
@@marcushillerstrom25 Såvitt jag vet så var det strax efter 2000 (eller sent 90-tal) som bytet skedde. En kollega till mig sa att han var sista kullen innan de bytte och det var tidigt 2000-tal (eller sent 90-tal). I samma veva lades KJ ned som ett eget förband och bakades in i Amf1 som ett kompani.

I had a friend two years older then me. He was a kustjägare and after the only thing he could talk about was the French Legion and one day he went to Marsselle to recute and then we never saw him again. Either he was lost in combat or he made it and became a French citizen with new name. We will never know. He is gone.
Oh dear. So many errors. The year the coastal artillery was formed was correct. And yes, the Coastal Rangers were formed in 1956, but the attack divers formed in 1955 were the Navy attack divers, and not Coastal Ranger divers. These divers were modelled on the US Navy UDT/SEAL to perform underwater demolitions. They were officially disbandend in 1981, I believe. The Ranger divers were formed after the British SBS. The Rangers themselves were, as mentioned, heavily inspired by the Royal Marine Commandos, and there have been frequent exchanges between the Swedes and the British, but also the Dutch Marines. Furthermore, the Amphibious Corps were derived from the six amphibious battalions, which in turn were a further development from the coastal artillery barrage battalions (spärrbataljon) who used missiles and mines to defeat enemy landing craft. The six amphibious battalions each consisted of five companies: Amphibious Coy. which used a land-based version of the Hellfire missile, and a modular anti-ship mine called the M9 mine. Command/HQ-coy. Included a recce platoon (attack divers. At the time, the only component that deployed snipers) and a surface to air-missile platoon. Mortar Coy. Derived from the Coastal Ranger mortar platoon to provide indirect fire support for the Coastal Rangers. And finally, two Ranger companies for assaults, direct action and reconnaissance. With regards: A former Kustjägare/Coastal Ranger of the 1990s.
@@FtdFacts No worries, mate. Yeah, the Navy divers were trained on Märsgarn island and focused on underwater sabotage and demolition, while the Ranger divers were trained for reconnaissance and direct action on land. The Coastal Rangers and Parachute Rangers were the closest we ever got to having Special Forces untill the predecessor to SOG (SSG) was formed in 1994, but were never considered as such. However, there was an interim unit called Jägarbefälsgruppen (Ranger Officer Group) that eventually evolved into the SSG, but that's a different story.
Worth noting: The engineers had an munitions disposal diving team as well, to handle duds and mines and some UWdemolitions (as well as recovery ops). You know, engineers doing engineer stuff...
About the non ranger parts of the amfibious regiment, The "amphibious riflemen" or "amphibious assault unit" there were suport units that was able to deploy a platoon (team) of 81.4 mm mortars on mostly any island in the archipelago outside Stockholm using kayaks as the mean of transportation. Most of the marching tests was made with all the groups equipment wich meant that the mortar platoon did hauling their mortars in those tests... The most common reason to medical dismiss was ofcourse busted knees... During the conscrpit days all the navigators and boat drivers of the combatboats were drafted from young men living in the archipelago, wich meant that they could navigate that archipilago in pitchblack, storms and when drunk silly. Some of them when all three above stated conditions was fullfilled at the same time:-)
Only one of the platoons within 'Amphibious assault company' is carrying out firesupport by mortars/robots etc; understödspluton. However you are correct that it is an extreme challenge to be a member there...
Well I keept the numbers and organisation vauge by old habit :-) Did have a couple of friends who did their military service in that platoon, big crazy guys who were LARP'ing as an orc clan together....
In 2004 you got the armpatch Thorleif for completing "övning thorleif" as a closure/test of the gsu (basic soldier training). Then you deserved the barret after completing the combat obsticle Course ( with backpack and weapond), snabbmarsch (running marsching with the allignment and fot stepping correct, backpack and weapond). clotheswimming, jumping from hight, dummy rescue 25m 12-15 feet below serface. And at last "övning amfibie" åka hellweek, 5 dags without sleep testing all training last 4-5 months including a 100km pure marsch. All this as a group! First then you earned your barret and could call yourself an ampfibioussoldier
The Amfibiekaren ( Coastal Rangers) of The Swedish Armed Forces, are for the 1st time, that, I , Prior Service USMC and US Army, ever heard of The Swedish Marines. Interesting and Impressed.
The info about the divers are incorrect. They were originally organized under the Navy and had operational tasks equivilent of the US Navy Seals. The Navy hade Combat Divers (A-dyk) and Navy UDT (Underwater Demolition Team. In Sweden: Röjdykarna, R-dyk). The UDT remains under the Navy organisation and are assigned to Mine Warfare-segment of the Navy. A-dyk transferred as organisation to the Kustjägarna in early 80ies and became a special segment of that branch. The recriutment for A-dyk is made from the KJ. A-dyk being more of a SF-unit. The Navy for a period had another elite unit under their hat in Bassäkerhetsförbandet (Bassäk), who were tasked with security missions within naval war bases, deploymentzones and supply areas. In 2006 the Bassäk were merged with the swedish military police security squadron and segments of the Amfibiekåren into a more general purpose security force operating on land, airborne and at sea.
There are some ranger regiments that would fit right in on your channel. AJB, (Army ranger battalion), which operates in sub arctic terrain, mountain/woodlands in northern Sweden. FJS, Our para-rangers. You know what they do. KJ, the coastal rangers. Combat divers etc. Some leathal muhfukrs. FBJ, The boys you'll send to retrive downed pilots etc. They've been kicking some international ass lately as mentioned in the comment section. SAR/CSAR.
I did my military service in the swedish costal artillery in the early 90s. The name costal artillery was very much a misnomer by then, kept mostly for historical reasons I guess. We did not have anything to do with artillery. We were more like a cross between a marine corps and the Navy. I myself did my service onboard a mine laying ship as a crewman.
same here. did my basic training with stab/grk amfibiebataljonen but we belonged to the minelaying division. then transfered to 12/80 rörligt in karlskrona as a cook. then back to ka4 guthenburg on a minelayer/transport ship. after that to 200 boats. i was part of the biggest marine excersise, hummern, 96 which validated the 5th amphibic battalions combat value as a cook on the staff/grenade launcher compani.
when it comes to bots sweden knows haw to build them to be fast that is how it have been since the time of vikings. and i wuld love to be a part of amfibie kåren.
Thank you for making this video! Just one thing to point out ;) Everything on Amfibieregementet is correct! But! The Kust Jägare are still active. They have new tasks now, amf took over their old tasks. The new kust jägarna have more special tasks now. More of a recon and sabotage unit these days.
Correction, it wasnt until some time in the 2000s when they granted any Amfibian Soldier or member of the corps to wear the Green beret, I was in the corps in 2004 & only those who completed the specific exercises & requirements were granted the beret & allowed to wear it with the Thorleif badge, several officers & such did not have the beret & many were not allowed to do the tests/exercises due to the health risks involved despite them making it to the corps.
And most units will not let a soldier wear it if said tests aren’t completed. Personnel in administrative positions and the like wear the beret when they’re required to wear uniform. But as a soldier on a platoon your team won’t accept that you wear the beret without proving yourself. I went from the army (in the good ol’ days when you had to earn the beret) to the amphibious corps (when the beret was just handed out as a sign of where you were employed) and no one wore it until they had completed the utbildningskontroll (the old beret test or beret march). Thinking back I realize that I’ve walked an insane distance for the berets that I have.
I would have joined but I served in the 29th Infantry Division 1-115 INF LRS as a medic (LRS is Long Range Surveillance Airborne Scouts!)! "SCOUTS OUT"
A couple of left out facts, and some small errors. Since Sweden has a very long history compared to young nations like the US or Canada all our regiments and units also have a very long history. Over all a good vid. I’d just like to add that the coastal rangers are in a way the youngest ranger unit in the Swedish armed forces. And if talking about the first Swedish special forces unit there’s a lot that can be said about infantry units during the 1600s who worked in small groups using guerilla tactics. But to most Swedes who’s served in a ranger unit (Jägarförband) the first “modern” Swedish special forces unit was the I19 skidlöparbataljon. I write modern in citations as the term special forces has been used (internationally) to describe a lot of different types of units during the last 30 years. For the last 20 years or so it’s been used to describe a special operations force that is also a strategic resource. So by definition, no Swedish ranger unit is SF. They are however special operations capable and have a lot of joint exercises with the current units organized under SF. I think it’s also worth noting that the amphibious corps overall are trained mainly in small units and that they have a lot of different specializations but they all have very high demands compared to most military units. So the demands you listed for Kustjägarna is a very small part of the total demands placed on them. And what you left out is that these demands are put to the test when they are starved and sleep deprived, having done forced marches and the like for daaays. The “basic” amfibieskyttekompani or amphibious infantry rifle company is made up of soldiers that are very physically fit and highly motivated volounteers with a very high level of autonomy. As a ranger I’ve had numerous combat exercises where these dudes have served as the enemy. They’re not fun to face in direct action. An infantry unit whose tactics at a moments notice shifts to guerilla tactics and back again… without them tiring even after a week of sleep depravation and starvation, in the rain, sea and harsh winds of the archipelago. They are an absolutely horrific enemy. Respekt till amfibiekåren!
Could you do fallskärmsjägare (k3) swedish elite soldiers One of the moat extreme swedish soldiers. Just a tip from another Swede 👌 Love your channel keep it up👍
Why would you want that information from a person who gives false facts, mispronounce words in swedish+why would you want it in english when there already is more information about it in swedish?(There's even several documentaries on youtube)
I would say that you should do a video about the most unglorius military unit in Sweden the homeguard and the whole voluntary defense movement in Sweden. Maybe not that cool but interesting.
Even if this video is old i gotta say this, to everyone who thinks our swedish military is crap (yes there is idiots who think that). Try jägarförbandet and come back after, you would cry after one week. Our swedish soldiers is some though fucking guys, i regret i never did the military myself and with my body now i will never be able. But im a proud swede and proud about our guys who wanna protect our country for our safety.
First I want to say that this video was great! Is it not weird to say "Marines of Sweden"? Its like saying Lord of war... you dont say marines of the US you say Warlord and US marines. Nit-picking I know but I thought it sounded detaching. And another thing: the frogmen are actually in 2 parts: Röjdykarna aka the mine-divers and Attackdykarna, the fighting-diver. The first being part of the navy and the second being part of the marines/amphibious corps. Thank you! From a Marine to be!
If you are going to make these facts make sure they are right too. You are wrong about Green Barets and they were only given to Coast Rangers. Green Barets are worn by all the different special Rengers Regementen. In addition to parachute ranger, their are red. The toughest special band Sweden had Var Lapland Rangers, they were the best in the mountains environment. They were trained in mountainclimbing. Detars Barets was also Green when they were Rangers. Their bar test was to go with 50kg packing a stretch of 28 swedish mil. in 4 days and then climbing Kebnekaise. The last march day was to shoot and then jump up to the regiment.
The part of green berets is wrong. I’m an old mountain ranger and we had green berets as well......at least in 1983. The parachute rangers have red berets though.......
That's not really true. The problem is that we in Sweden call them "Marinen" and that is translated into "the Navy" in english and that includes the Royal fleet and the Amphibious Corps. The Amphibious Corps is just another name for marines.
7:23 "They also have a modified FN Minimi that they call the KS 90" Incorrect on two counts... 1) Its name is "Kulspruta 90" or KSP 90 2) The image you are showing shows the Swedish FN MAG version dubbed the KSP-58B, which has been adopted in its Swedish variant internationally because it is a massive improvement. Not even the M240 can compete. On a side note, the FN FNC (AK5) is an AK5C, the "third" iteration (though they skipped over the B variant) And the G3 (AK4) is actually a G3A3 with only a few modifications.
Eh, there is like no difference between the KSP 58B and the original FN MAG. The 58 D version though has many changes, but then again so has shitloads of other nations versions as well. After all, the weapon is from the 50's.
Navy Seals are not US Marines. US Marines can join the Navy Seals however if they wanted to. Both fall under however the Department of the Navy. Navy Seals are special forces. US Marines have their own special forces. Just saying because some US Marines would take offense to that. I should know cause I'm a Marine USMC 🇺🇸
@Henrik Hempel no they're not, seals are naval assets. US Marines while also a department of the navy technically, this goes way back to Marines guarding naval ships which they still do. The navy also provides medics which are called Corpmen. The Marines are their own force complete with air and ground and theater level transport, but missing global transportation which is generally but not always provided by the Navy. It's an old, complicated, and sometimes disfunctional relationship.
I was an Army National Guard combat engineer attached to the first and second Marine divisions at Ramadi Iraq in 2005. If not for the Marines making sure we had very good equipment half my battalion would be dead. We hunted and cleared IEDs among other things. As it was we had just over 100 casualties with 4 Kia.
modern vikings on a serrious note; they're more of a coastal defense force with some special missions capability, than a force like the USMC or even the Royal Marine Commandos
Atty's Thoughts Initially the coastal rangers were modeled after the british SBS. But nowadays id say they have the exact same role as the Royal Marines. As SOG has taken over the special operations part, with the all the ranger regiments in a "support" role of sorts.
Atty's Thoughts Both the AMF1 and Coastal Rangers have been on tours in Bosnia, Afghanistan, Mali, Tchad and the gulf of Aden (Somalia) so not strictly a defense force.
@@MegaEssin Royal Marines are an offensive (commando) force, just like their Army equivalent, the Paratroopers. You don't have to an offensive force to conduct peacekeeping operations.
Why do Americans choose to move to Russia? To find the answer, independent journalist Tofurious Maximus Crane meets with three emigrant families to get a glimpse into their new lives. Jay Close was born in New York, grew up in California, and has lived in France, Australia, and even Papua New Guinea. He worked as a chef for the Rolling Stones and later managed several restaurants in Moscow. Now, Jay raises goats and makes cheese in the countryside near Moscow, where he has built his home for over 30 years. Another emigrant is Chad Hower, who was granted political asylum in Russia after being persecuted by the CIA in his home country. Finally, Tofurious meets Jozef and Ann, who recently moved to Russia with their six children.

We have more than one ranger unit and it is impossible to say which of them are the best or the thoughest. If someone is jägare it is a jägare never the less in the army, ait force or navy.
Wait... Americans, don't have to run 6.5 km in under 45 minutes? cus that isn't just for Amfibiekåren (In Swedish the 'the' is replaced by en or et after the word e.g Amfibiekåre͟n͟). You will have to do that exercise (be it alone) for many of the roles in the Swedish military.
The English word core is pronounced almost identically to the swedish "Kår" so if you were to pronounce it "amfibie-coren" youd have it pretty much spot on.
01:58 that bunker in the mountain is for sale. I just read about it in the newspaper right before i saw this video (there is a picture of it in the newspaper). Wierd coincidence...
I was a kustjägare 1986-87. I seem to remember that we started out with a belgian version of the AK5, then changed to the swedish one after a couple of month. We kept record of fire outages and other malfunctions and it became better with the swedish gun so I think you are right.
Here are some marines dancing at the Pride Parade in Stockholm: ruclips.net/video/Df1bDU53uKA/видео.html Here is the Supreme Commander of the swedish military, also prancing around at Pride Parade.

Maybe because we have to much dignity to demean ourselves in the way that all "men" in the swedish army today have to demean themselves. So next time you see a swedish "soldier", laugh at her. Or take pity in her.
”Ofcourse saw some action in ww1, ww2 and the cold war”? Did you literally mean “they saw” as in looked at action between other nations or did you miss that sweden was neutral in 3 out 3 of these wars.

It’s certainly not nuts and I think that type of collectivist mindset is common in armed forces all over the world. My first day of military service we were tasked to put our kit together.

The sergeant came up to us. With a blank expression he told the other recruit “continue” then he just stared at me. “Why did this recruit fail to complete his task on time?”

Then he told me “This recruit failed to complete his task on time because YOU didn’t help him. You failed your teammate. I can’t make a soldier out of someone who just looks out for himself. Never, ever fail your teammate like this again.”
That lesson stays with me. I’m that guy who always asks his colleagues if there’s something I can do to help the team whenever I have a second to spare. Even as a civilian. And that’s why I love working with people who’ve at least gone through basic.

Roughly 5500 coastal rangers have been trained since the beginning in 1956/57, when the Coast Artillery Close Quarters Battle School merged into "Kustjägarna" (/"Coastal Rangers").
Divers were specialized in long range covert recon/sabotage, roughly 160 these have been trained.
The navy hade their own combat/attack divers until 1983, so for a few decades we hade two separate schools for attack/combat divers.
The rangers have to earn both the green beret and the trident, in different tests, were emphasis are on long marches w/ heavy rucks (mine usually weighed ~65kgs + ~30kgs assault vest/weapon/ammo/etc) with no sleep and several tasks, distance canoeing, speed marches, survival and SERE training (introducing soviet interrogation techniques), distance swimming, assault courses...and so on.
The KJ conscripts were all volounteers, because of the extremes of the training (like the parachute rangers).
Conscription lasted 15 months (ranger squad leaders) or 10 months (rangers).
Until 1990, the coastal rangers formed 8 independent ranger companies, which were deployed all along the 2700km long coastline, some far up in the arctic regions.
In 1990, 6 Amphibious Battallions were formed, each with 2x Ranger Companies, 1 Mortar Coy and other elements including attack/combat divers, Hellfire missile platoons, staff- and mine platoons.
Later the AMFBATs were reformed (Org 2010), the ranger companies were reduced and more specialized in recon/sabotage (classic commando tasks) and the assault/raid tasks were assigned to Amphibious Rifle Coys, similar to USMC.
From 2014, the conscription was scrapped, and the swedish defense was professional only, and to apply to the rangers you needed to have been employed for at least 2 years.
In 1994, a desicion was made, in typical swedish manners, where no one should be 'better' than any other, the trident was moved from the beret to a piece of cloth on the shoulder (which can be seen in your video).
And somewhere along the way, the green beret went to be only a piece of cloth on the head on those who served in the marines, not everyone had to pass the tests, which kind of diluted its value.
I was on KJ -94, the last rangers with the trident in the beret.
Vi hade några enstaka KJ befäl kvar i Vaxholm 98...

Att syftet var att ”ingen är bättre än någon annan” stämmer inte. Anledningen var att baskern ändrade syfte och istället skulle visa förbandstillhörighet, inte nödvändigtvis utbildning (FJS har fortfarande deras vinröda baskrar men dock av internationell tradition). Därför infördes utbildningstecken istället. Treudden är fortfarande precis lika prestigefylld, men istället för att den bärs på baskern bärs den istället på axeln, likt jägarbågen, Torleif och likt utländska förband (exempelvis U.S Army Rangers och Brittiska Royal Marine Commandos). Dessutom har kustjägarna fortfarande kvar den guldiga treudden, men endast på bröstet på finuniformen M/87.

Semper Fi to the Swedish Marines!
Semper Opus Solve!!!
As someone who has met several Kustjägare/Coastal Rangers in real life I can safely say that some of the facts in this video are wrong (and some are correct!).
1. Back in the days of universal consciption you could apply to the Costal Rangers without having served in the armed forces. That has now changed. Perhaps to make the unit more professional.
2. The green beret with the trident was the unique insignia for the Costal Rangers. It was later changed to the Viking 'Thorleif' which is universal for all serving in the Amphibious Regiment (after completing Exercise Amfibie of course). The trident is now either worn on on the right arm as a shoulder patch or on the chest of the mess dress.
3. If the Trident has its forks turned inwards when on the mess dress it means that the person is a qualified Combat Diver.
4. In the days of the Coastal Artillery there was no mobile marine units until the creation of the Coastal Rangers. Their mission was to eject any foreign invaders from islands that had been taken over. A common saying is/was that a Coastal Rangers life-expectancy was somewhere around 2 minutes.
5. There are two green berets within the Swedish Armed Forces. The lighter green (commando green) one belongs to the Amphibious Regiment. A more dark green one is a universal beret for cavalry (light, mobile units) within the armed forces (such as the 31st Air Assault or the Army's Ranger Battalion).
Correction: It's "commando-green", same color as other marine/amphibious-unit's berets internationally.. it's not the same color as any other swedish unit's berets.
@@TheAnytonyYou are absolutely right
När jag tog min basker 2000 så hade vi Torleif på armen och m/92 KA1 på baskern. När bytte de till att ha Torleif på baskern? Kustjägarna och attackdykarna hade fortfarande sina två olika treuddar på baskern då.

“Aren’t as we’ll known as other marines, such as the navy seals” navy seals aren’t marines...

Oh dear. So many errors.
The year the coastal artillery was formed was correct. And yes, the Coastal Rangers were formed in 1956, but the attack divers formed in 1955 were the Navy attack divers, and not Coastal Ranger divers. These divers were modelled on the US Navy UDT/SEAL to perform underwater demolitions. They were officially disbandend in 1981, I believe. The Ranger divers were formed after the British SBS. The Rangers themselves were, as mentioned, heavily inspired by the Royal Marine Commandos, and there have been frequent exchanges between the Swedes and the British, but also the Dutch Marines.
Furthermore, the Amphibious Corps were derived from the six amphibious battalions, which in turn were a further development from the coastal artillery barrage battalions (spärrbataljon) who used missiles and mines to defeat enemy landing craft. The six amphibious battalions each consisted of five companies: Amphibious Coy. which used a land-based version of the Hellfire missile, and a modular anti-ship mine called the M9 mine. Command/HQ-coy. Included a recce platoon (attack divers. At the time, the only component that deployed snipers) and a surface to air-missile platoon. Mortar Coy. Derived from the Coastal Ranger mortar platoon to provide indirect fire support for the Coastal Rangers. And finally, two Ranger companies for assaults, direct action and reconnaissance.
With regards: A former Kustjägare/Coastal Ranger of the 1990s.
@@FtdFacts No worries, mate. Yeah, the Navy divers were trained on Märsgarn island and focused on underwater sabotage and demolition, while the Ranger divers were trained for reconnaissance and direct action on land. The Coastal Rangers and Parachute Rangers were the closest we ever got to having Special Forces untill the predecessor to SOG (SSG) was formed in 1994, but were never considered as such. However, there was an interim unit called Jägarbefälsgruppen (Ranger Officer Group) that eventually evolved into the SSG, but that's a different story.
Worth noting: The engineers had an munitions disposal diving team as well, to handle duds and mines and some UWdemolitions (as well as recovery ops). You know, engineers doing engineer stuff...
About the non ranger parts of the amfibious regiment, The "amphibious riflemen" or "amphibious assault unit" there were suport units that was able to deploy a platoon (team) of 81.4 mm mortars on mostly any island in the archipelago outside Stockholm using kayaks as the mean of transportation. Most of the marching tests was made with all the groups equipment wich meant that the mortar platoon did hauling their mortars in those tests... The most common reason to medical dismiss was ofcourse busted knees...
During the conscrpit days all the navigators and boat drivers of the combatboats were drafted from young men living in the archipelago, wich meant that they could navigate that archipilago in pitchblack, storms and when drunk silly. Some of them when all three above stated conditions was fullfilled at the same time:-)
Only one of the platoons within 'Amphibious assault company' is carrying out firesupport by mortars/robots etc; understödspluton.
However you are correct that it is an extreme challenge to be a member there...
Well I keept the numbers and organisation vauge by old habit :-) Did have a couple of friends who did their military service in that platoon, big crazy guys who were LARP'ing as an orc clan together....

The Amfibiekaren ( Coastal Rangers) of The Swedish Armed Forces, are for the 1st time, that, I , Prior Service USMC and US Army, ever heard of The Swedish Marines. Interesting and Impressed.
The info about the divers are incorrect. They were originally organized under the Navy and had operational tasks equivilent of the US Navy Seals. The Navy hade Combat Divers (A-dyk) and Navy UDT (Underwater Demolition Team. In Sweden: Röjdykarna, R-dyk). The UDT remains under the Navy organisation and are assigned to Mine Warfare-segment of the Navy. A-dyk transferred as organisation to the Kustjägarna in early 80ies and became a special segment of that branch. The recriutment for A-dyk is made from the KJ. A-dyk being more of a SF-unit. The Navy for a period had another elite unit under their hat in Bassäkerhetsförbandet (Bassäk), who were tasked with security missions within naval war bases, deploymentzones and supply areas. In 2006 the Bassäk were merged with the swedish military police security squadron and segments of the Amfibiekåren into a more general purpose security force operating on land, airborne and at sea.

About the ”Sweden Marines”. Bra engelska där
the music this channel have works best on Sweden.
I did my military service in the swedish costal artillery in the early 90s. The name costal artillery was very much a misnomer by then, kept mostly for historical reasons I guess. We did not have anything to do with artillery. We were more like a cross between a marine corps and the Navy. I myself did my service onboard a mine laying ship as a crewman.
same here. did my basic training with stab/grk amfibiebataljonen but we belonged to the minelaying division. then transfered to 12/80 rörligt in karlskrona as a cook. then back to ka4 guthenburg on a minelayer/transport ship. after that to 200 boats. i was part of the biggest marine excersise, hummern, 96 which validated the 5th amphibic battalions combat value as a cook on the staff/grenade launcher compani.
when it comes to bots sweden knows haw to build them to be fast that is how it have been since the time of vikings. and i wuld love to be a part of amfibie kåren.
Thank you for making this video!
Just one thing to point out ;)
Everything on Amfibieregementet is correct!
But!
The Kust Jägare are still active. They have new tasks now, amf took over their old tasks. The new kust jägarna have more special tasks now. More of a recon and sabotage unit these days.
And that´s how it all started in the fifties...
First motto is mistranslated. It should be: “Courage, Resilience, Strength.”
Vikings in uniform.
Wow 😘💟💞💕💓💝💗
Correction, it wasnt until some time in the 2000s when they granted any Amfibian Soldier or member of the corps to wear the Green beret, I was in the corps in 2004 & only those who completed the specific exercises & requirements were granted the beret & allowed to wear it with the Thorleif badge, several officers & such did not have the beret & many were not allowed to do the tests/exercises due to the health risks involved despite them making it to the corps.
And most units will not let a soldier wear it if said tests aren’t completed. Personnel in administrative positions and the like wear the beret when they’re required to wear uniform. But as a soldier on a platoon your team won’t accept that you wear the beret without proving yourself. I went from the army (in the good ol’ days when you had to earn the beret) to the amphibious corps (when the beret was just handed out as a sign of where you were employed) and no one wore it until they had completed the utbildningskontroll (the old beret test or beret march). Thinking back I realize that I’ve walked an insane distance for the berets that I have.
I cant remember if it was exercise "Amfibie" or "Thorleif", but the marching was 150 kilometers minimum alone, and the marching was the easy part.
The Swedish Home Guard doesn’t have regiments it the Home Guard branch and in it is 48 Battalions.
I would have joined but I served in the 29th Infantry Division 1-115 INF LRS as a medic (LRS is Long Range Surveillance Airborne Scouts!)! "SCOUTS OUT"
A couple of left out facts, and some small errors. Since Sweden has a very long history compared to young nations like the US or Canada all our regiments and units also have a very long history.
Over all a good vid. I’d just like to add that the coastal rangers are in a way the youngest ranger unit in the Swedish armed forces. And if talking about the first Swedish special forces unit there’s a lot that can be said about infantry units during the 1600s who worked in small groups using guerilla tactics.
But to most Swedes who’s served in a ranger unit (Jägarförband) the first “modern” Swedish special forces unit was the I19 skidlöparbataljon. I write modern in citations as the term special forces has been used (internationally) to describe a lot of different types of units during the last 30 years. For the last 20 years or so it’s been used to describe a special operations force that is also a strategic resource. So by definition, no Swedish ranger unit is SF. They are however special operations capable and have a lot of joint exercises with the current units organized under SF.
I think it’s also worth noting that the amphibious corps overall are trained mainly in small units and that they have a lot of different specializations but they all have very high demands compared to most military units. So the demands you listed for Kustjägarna is a very small part of the total demands placed on them. And what you left out is that these demands are put to the test when they are starved and sleep deprived, having done forced marches and the like for daaays.
The “basic” amfibieskyttekompani or amphibious infantry rifle company is made up of soldiers that are very physically fit and highly motivated volounteers with a very high level of autonomy. As a ranger I’ve had numerous combat exercises where these dudes have served as the enemy. They’re not fun to face in direct action. An infantry unit whose tactics at a moments notice shifts to guerilla tactics and back again… without them tiring even after a week of sleep depravation and starvation, in the rain, sea and harsh winds of the archipelago. They are an absolutely horrific enemy. Respekt till amfibiekåren!

If you are going to make these facts make sure they are right too. You are wrong about Green Barets and they were only given to Coast Rangers. Green Barets are worn by all the different special Rengers Regementen. In addition to parachute ranger, their are red. The toughest special band Sweden had Var Lapland Rangers, they were the best in the mountains environment. They were trained in mountainclimbing. Detars Barets was also Green when they were Rangers. Their bar test was to go with 50kg packing a stretch of 28 swedish mil. in 4 days and then climbing Kebnekaise. The last march day was to shoot and then jump up to the regiment.

That's not really true. The problem is that we in Sweden call them "Marinen" and that is translated into "the Navy" in english and that includes the Royal fleet and the Amphibious Corps.
The Amphibious Corps is just another name for marines.
Håkan you are confusing "marines" with "marinen". Marinen=Navy

7:23 "They also have a modified FN Minimi that they call the KS 90"
Incorrect on two counts...
1) Its name is "Kulspruta 90" or KSP 90
2) The image you are showing shows the Swedish FN MAG version dubbed the KSP-58B, which has been adopted in its Swedish variant internationally because it is a massive improvement. Not even the M240 can compete.
On a side note, the FN FNC (AK5) is an AK5C, the "third" iteration (though they skipped over the B variant)
And the G3 (AK4) is actually a G3A3 with only a few modifications.
Eh, there is like no difference between the KSP 58B and the original FN MAG. The 58 D version though has many changes, but then again so has shitloads of other nations versions as well. After all, the weapon is from the 50's.
Navy Seals are not US Marines. US Marines can join the Navy Seals however if they wanted to. Both fall under however the Department of the Navy. Navy Seals are special forces. US Marines have their own special forces. Just saying because some US Marines would take offense to that. I should know cause I'm a Marine USMC 🇺🇸
@Henrik Hempel no they're not, seals are naval assets. US Marines while also a department of the navy technically, this goes way back to Marines guarding naval ships which they still do. The navy also provides medics which are called Corpmen. The Marines are their own force complete with air and ground and theater level transport, but missing global transportation which is generally but not always provided by the Navy. It's an old, complicated, and sometimes disfunctional relationship.
I was an Army National Guard combat engineer attached to the first and second Marine divisions at Ramadi Iraq in 2005.

on a serrious note; they're more of a coastal defense force with some special missions capability, than a force like the USMC or even the Royal Marine Commandos
Atty's Thoughts Initially the coastal rangers were modeled after the british SBS. But nowadays id say they have the exact same role as the Royal Marines. As SOG has taken over the special operations part, with the all the ranger regiments in a "support" role of sorts.
Atty's Thoughts Both the AMF1 and Coastal Rangers have been on tours in Bosnia, Afghanistan, Mali, Tchad and the gulf of Aden (Somalia) so not strictly a defense force.
@@MegaEssin Royal Marines are an offensive (commando) force, just like their Army equivalent, the Paratroopers. You don't have to an offensive force to conduct peacekeeping operations.

1:04 you made a correct statement
Wait... Americans, don't have to run 6.5 km in under 45 minutes? cus that isn't just for Amfibiekåren (In Swedish the 'the' is replaced by en or et after the word e.g Amfibiekåre͟n͟). You will have to do that exercise (be it alone) for many of the roles in the Swedish military.
The English word core is pronounced almost identically to the swedish "Kår" so if you were to pronounce it "amfibie-coren" youd have it pretty much spot on.
AMF AMF AMF!
its pretty much pronounced the same way but with "en" in the end. "amphibie core-en"
The Swedish coastal rangers are still active.
To bad you didnt bring up their participation in whiskey on the rocks incident.
01:58 that bunker in the mountain is for sale. I just read about it in the newspaper right before i saw this video (there is a picture of it in the newspaper). Wierd coincidence...
King of the ring :-)
Been there done that amf amf amfibiebataljon
I was in K3 1986-1987 and heard that we was the first to use the AK5 tru or not ?
I was a kustjägare 1986-87. I seem to remember that we started out with a belgian version of the AK5, then changed to the swedish one after a couple of month. We kept record of fire outages and other malfunctions and it became better with the swedish gun so I think you are right.
Here are some marines dancing at the Pride Parade in Stockholm:

Here is the Supreme Commander of the swedish military, also prancing around at Pride Parade. Also originally a "marine" at KA4:

Better quality video of Supreme Commander marine, even if he does not look quite as ridiculous as in previous one:

Nationalists are forbidden from joining Swedish Army. Maybe because we have to much dignity to demean ourselves in the way that all "men" in the swedish army today have to demean themselves. So next time you see a swedish "soldier", laugh at her. Or take pity in her.
”Ofcourse saw some action in ww1, ww2 and the cold war”? Did you literally mean “they saw” as in looked at action between other nations or did you miss that sweden was neutral in 3 out 3 of these wars.
sir did you miss out that "the cold war" aint a war but a stalemate? and that swedish voluenteers went to Finland to fight?
"Neutral"
@@ppe4383 ...och varken svenska frivilligkåren eller SS-viking är densamma som Amfibiekåren eller representerade Sverige i någon officiell form.
@@ppe4383 Amfibiekåren fanns ej under världskrigen. Oavsett om vi räknar till de förband som var föregångare så är det en stor skillnad mellan individer som ansluter sig till frivilligkåren(tekniskt sätt civilpersoner) och ett officiellt förband. Citatet i min ursprungliga kommentar refererar uppenbarligen till kustartilleriet som förband, vilket gör det befängt att påstå att de "saw some action", oavsett om individuella personer i regementet har varit i en expeditionsstyrka.

KA1 skickade minst ett förstärkt ksp-komp till Åland för att hjälpa Finland att stoppa ryssen, så helt neutrala var vi inte.
Kom upp på rekommenderas
Yes, yes you did.
P4/P18 represent!
P18 på riktigt eller dagens "stridsgrupp" som ännu inte visat sig värdiga arvet?
@@SonsOfLorgar De kommer såklart bli värdiga sitt arv. Vänta vara. Vi jobbar på de. P4 killarna o tjejerna är super duktiga o vi P18 tar ju över snart
Bra video ak-5 e riktigt bra vapen
Absolut! Jag skulle inte känna mig otrygg med att lägga min lit till en AK5C - den fungerar oavsett, och gör vad den ska.
Carl Bildt @5:14??
Correct me if I'm wrong but don't the parachute and coastal ranger have vinered basker
Ruben Sandström the paras have burgundy berets, the coastal rangers green berets.
you can join the swedish costal rangers but you have to do a amfibies training first
1:10 Hells Kitchen?🤣🤣🤣
