Former Swedish Marine sergeant here, we change socks that often in order to not wear down our feet.
Our cold, wet and mushy weather makes you sweat a lot and that sweat (salt) will cause you to get blisters and eventually open wounds in your feet and just like that you’re combat effectiveness is reduced greatly. I’ve tried not changing socks as often and it’s much worse, imo.
Also, you’re supposed to keep the standard marching time of 6km/h for 50 mins covering 5km in 50 mins and then take a break for 10 mins. This has proven to keep the troops fresh and because we were supposed to fight Russia alone (NATO gang now), it was expected that we could not use our radios 24/7 so thus the standardized matching tempo ect makes it easy to predict where your forces are during are march.
Enjoyed the company of your Brits during Joint warrior 2011 and Operation Anakonda 16 - some of the best soldiers I’ve met and always down to get into the mud and fight.

Also, you dry your socks as you march.
When picturing Swedish forces, think about forces being in permanent survival in the forest mode.
It's all about lasting as long as possible cut off, as command and control will be difficult during a full scale invasion.
Google "fria kriget" to understand this better
Although Sweden has been neutral for a long time, they are a military force to be reckoned with. Now that they are gearing up, we all want to be on their side. Obviously good soldiers too.
An addition to your answer.
When I did my duty in the army we didn't change to a new "fresh" sock every time. The used sock is dried on your backpack, or close to your skin during rainy days or during the winter (for example inside your shirt or hanging inside your pants). By doing so you can rotate between 2 socks during the whole day. I used to change to a fresh sock every other day or so, depending on weather and how much we marched during the day.
If you sleep in a tent with fire heating, you can dry your used socks overnight and use it again the day after. We also use two socks to prevent blisters, I am sure other countries do the same. The second sock does not only provide isolation from the cold in the winter, it also soak up the sweat from your feet and keep the inner sock relative dry. Also, the friction will then be between the socks instead of between the sock and your sole.
I don't know what changing socks entail for you but Swedish soldiers generally, as seen here, use two layers of socks one 'long sock' and a thicker sock on top of that. The thicker sock is not only there for warmth but also to soak up sweat, in order for the sock beneath to stay relatively dry and to counteract skin damage you just change the thicker sock during breaks so that they dry off the sweat between marching sessions.

We dried our used socks on our packs or if its cold, inside our winter smocks.
The Beret test is an individual soldier skill evaluation. The March is a test of them taking the correct measures for a longer march. There is no tactical element during the baret test. The map is laminated and can not be folded. In Sweden, we know how to keep a soldier's combat value high. And this is reflected in us changing socks often. It keeps the soldier's feet working, in a desert, or arctic environment. This is something others can learn from. When in a tactical situation the pause in marching still kicks off at 50 minutes. But then you and your combat buddy alternate changing socks while one keeps security. And if this was a tactical situation they would not walk the road if not really necessary.
Others have already explained the reason for the sock change. So, they're made of wool and dry quickly if you hang them on the outside of the backpack. I've done the standard 30 km march a number of times, sometimes changing socks, sometimes not at all. And it really does make a difference if you change them regularly.
Did my military service as Flygbasjägare, "Swedish Airforce Ranger" where I served as a dog handler. So glad I did my service, probably the toughest year of my life, but I grew so much and only have positive memories from my time there. Just wanted to say thank you for this series, enjoying it immensely and it brings back memories for sure even though it was almost 30 years ago by now 😂
About the socks… it is so they are not wet and sweaty and get blisters. It is not to new socks all the time. You reuse them and make them dry.
This is more a stamina test for the basics, the Jaeger test will be more what you looking for I think.
Baskerprov (beret test) is an individual endurance test performed in a group.
Each person has to finish this test otherwise you will not become a ranger and receive a beret.
The autotranslation can't handle "käk", it means food but keeps being translated as "jaw", which is "käke", hehe. "Kötta" is another one... it basically means "Fight on" or "Keep going", but it's translated as "meat".
They also say "komig" from the word "koma" (coma) which should be drousy/"comatosed" but was translated to "comical". "Uppgifter" should be translated to tasks, but here they write "data".
Also. SWE:Halt (short pronunciation) = ENG: Halt/stop. But the subs translate as if it was SWE: Halt (long pronunciation)=ENG: slippery.
"Toppen"...in this case means the "top/peak". The subs say it means "great"
And the classic. Mil=10 km, translated to mile (1.6km) in the subs.
5.36 Swedes get foot sweat, they have to keep their feet in good condition. changing socks is a very good thing if you
want to keep them in good order...
The soldier saying he started to get blister forgot to dry his feet’s before putting on the dry socks.
Really like your reactions and feedback to this amazing series
i hate that the translator says (2.5km) 2.5 miles, when its actually 15,5miles xD
Komig doesnt mean funny or comedian 😂 it is an adjective form of comatose (koma in swedish). You are feeling like you are dead on your feet tired.
"Du slutar tänka efter en 2 och en halv mil" one mil=10km. Not 1 mile.
Its more of rotating socks, with the kind of "Shell" boots they have, the outer sock is almost like the boot padding. Socks are rotaded to move water out of the boot. The weath socks are dried hanging of the body and rotated. Works well!
Unlike most commenters I do not have any information as such to add, instead my comment is directed solely to you as a commentor/reactor;
VERY well done, man! You are adding a lot of value with your short comments of deeper insight why something is done the way it is or sometimes how things differ between how it is done in the British army. You are also, very importantly, taking care to not "talk over" dialogue in the video so your comments become add-ons instead of replacements so to speak.
All in all you are actually making watching this series a more inclusive and interesting experience for me than it would be without your comments, which to me is the very best kind of reaction video. Your commentary and involvement is increasing and improving as the series goes on, I find myself smiling at how clear your enjoyment of the series is. The small-means "watching in the bedroom" setting is actually adding to the feeling of watching this together with you, so (at least in the reaction context) that works out really well too.
I even chose not to binge the series in it's original form, instead waiting for your next post, giving me the added value of delayed gratification :) Granted, that choice is mine alone, but you make the choice possible.
Finally I want to add an added thank you to the very knowledgeable commentors that respond to your in-video musings and add extra information if I want it. Asking questions of your viewers is a nice, inclusive touch.
/Emma - From Gothenburg, Sweden. Learning more about "my own" military of this generation than I ever would have without a British Vet :)
if you not change socks after 4-5 kilometers you garanteed to have bleeding scars
Wow that is the look of being very very Tired they are Tough
this shows that the brain doesnt care if ur man or woman
The "2.5 miles" he mentioned is most likely a Swedish "mil", where a Swedish mil is 10 km so 25 km would be more correct. The "mil" used to be slightly longer, about 10.8 km, before the metrification so they just rounded it down. We got a lot of old mil stones marking distance around the roads but they are incorrect today.
But it's fun when there's people from counties measuring distance in miles when they ask how far away something is and get an answer like "that's just 3 mil" but they hear miles in their heads and thinks, "oh, that's a nice walk" ...
I think the beret test is more like a personal competition, team effort as well as individual effort to cover distance and tasks in time. They didn’t receive tactical maps (just ‘class room’ maps), I didn’t see any compasses or any ammunition in their weapons. This was not a tactical exercise, but more about personal and team effort. I also don’t think it’s over yet.
Trust me, you want to change socks that often!
FN FNC can take that beating! :D edit: RUclipsr Garand thumb did a mud and ice test and FN FNC was one of the only ones that made it
Great reaction video👍🏻
After this you should react to the series “Vägen till stridspilot”, The road to fighter pilot.
Not sure if there are any English subtitles….
Thats a really good series 😃
I did my military service at P10 as a grenade thrower soldier, normally that position doesn't include the beret test. But as I was on a tank regiment we got to do both AGU (Aldrig ge upp) and the beret test. Our beret is dark blue with a tank emblem (fist with sword).
"Pansarnäven slår" 🦾😜🤜
@@PaladinZeke 👊❤️
change socks to air them and dry them, rotate them.
In addition to what @Runner357_TV said below. When you change your socks in cold weather you can and probably should keep the old ones on the inside of your m90 jacket which we do in order to dry them if wet. That way its ok even if you only have 2/3 pairs. But yeah changing socks like this is pretty much what we are all taught.
Good work.
We did that test i pairs, two and two so maby a litle harder with less suport.
I keep seeing miles prop up in the translation text, but we are talking Scandinavian miles, which is 10 kilometres or 6.21 miles.
Yeah so I’ve seen, Shame about the mis interpretation
is the audio out of sync?
and it's just gonna get worse 😭😭😭
When the subs says "Tagged", it means "Pumped". Not the best translations all the time
If they did an extra marching phase they marched 40 kilometres ( 24.8 miles) as the march test is 35 kilometres ( 21.7 miles) with a 35 kilogram ( 77.1 pounds) rucksack. (5 Km longer than the standard infantry test)
But I know the test carrying the antitank mine STRV M5 hurts more. It's 10.5 Kilogram (23 pounds) each and they packed more than a couple in the mission pack.
It’s way longer than that. When I did the test we marched 120 km during two days plus a 10km “snabbmarch” at the end. Day two was exactly the same as the paras eagle march. So this test is not remotely comparable with an ordinary soldiers test at regular infantry units.
@TheDeltasteve A Normal individual soldier skill test involves a 30 km march distance. There are exceptions. Some units do other distances as these tests are done at the time units reach their defined responsibilities. And as those differ so do the segments during the specific unit's individual soldier skill test. For the Rangers at K3, this means 35 km. Are you sure you mean the individual soldier skill test for the Ranger? The qualifying test means the longer marches with heavier loads to become a Ranger. May it be that test you think of? And for the record. I know it's 35 km. By the way, 120 Km takes 24 hours if your troop keep up the pace, with no fatigue, on a flat surface. In truth marching in snow, on ice, with 35kg and fatigue creeping in you do about an average of 3.5 to 4 km an hour with breaks included > 120 km equal to that means approx. 32 hours. And if referring to the eagle march that is one hell of a fast march they carry 25 kg for that. For the superfit para, this means their fatigue kicks in late, around their landnav test usually, when the march segment is over.
@@onepluszulu6701 dude, please don’t try to educate me… I’ve done this beret march at K3. Go ahead ask anyone who’s completed it. It’s never been the ordinary soldiers test at 30km.
We did a 130km test during two days, the last day was exactly the same as the para eagle march 70km with a 10km speed march at the end…
It’s not supposed to be any ordinary soldiers test that is done at other regiments, this is a test for the rangers.
@@onepluszulu6701 beret march was 130km when I did it, and the ranger test was 50km but with way heavier load. Some soldiers carried almost 80kg, jgrk and jpv. We never ever did the 30km test performed at the ordinary regiments…
@@TheDeltasteve I guess it was a while ago you did that. Now the Eagle march is split up into a dag and a night section with land navigation in between. The new kit we use gives us the same sustainability as we had in the time you wrote of but with a lower weight. So we carry the same kit but newer lighter versions of it.
Awesome
