Socialdemokraterna vill öka värnplikten – och låta finska officerare utbilda

The Social Democrats want defense to grow faster than it is doing today And the number of heat-related deaths is expected to rise to 12 000 by 2030 compared to the current target of 10 000 We also want that in addition to the four marble brigades that have been decided to be implemented by 2030 We are already saying that after 2030 we will start the planning work for two more brigades To achieve the goal of 12 000 warm-activated units by 2030 The Social Democrats say it requires new investments infrastructure equipment and educational resources As for trained personnel we mean that reserve officers can claim them We can claim an increased share of the service members' working time We can also let those who complete the officer training after two years graduate as troop-trained Then take the third year of education at a later stage Peter Hultqvist also raises the idea of a collaboration with Finland There Swedish-speaking officers could contribute to training Swedish conscripts I think it would be something appreciated and good In addition to the goal of mandatory military service the Social Democrats want to introduce so-called territorial defense units Therefore companies that protect the transport of soldiers and equipment during a crisis or war This type of transport is a target for any potential enemy There must be resources available to be able to defend and protect this type of transport It becomes essential because we will receive support through Norway and via transports coming in on the west coast There must be connections that are separated for this purpose It is just as well to start establishing such connections now
