PERSPECTIVE

Time for politicians to reflect on the price of duty

The Riksdag's new defence bill gives reserve officers the right to leave of absence, but at the same time means that officers remain liable for conscription duty until the age of 70, something the Swedish Reserve Officers' Association criticises as unfair and economically unsustainable. Association chairman Magnus Konradsson calls for fair conditions and compensation for those forced to undergo refresher training in peacetime, instead of competence being retained through the threat of imprisonment.

Intervju: Om framtidens armé

Överste Rikard Daleke är arméns planeringschef. Och inom kort blir han Livgardets nya regementschef. Under hans ledning togs konceptet NEXT fram. Det är, enkelt uttryckt, Arméstabens förslag för hur 30-talets armé bör utformas. Så hur går tankarna i arméstaben? Och hur ska man försäkra sig om att vi inte bygger en pappersprodukt?
