Before changing magazine, say/shout "magazine" to your buddy so he can
give you cover fire.

Count with 3 AT-4´s for taking out a armoured vehicle.
1 squad = one armoured vehicle. One platoon = 2-3 vehicles.

Always have atleast one guy providing cover. It is not
necessary for all of the guys giving cover to be visible.

According to the Geneva convention you must take care
of injured enemies. And also brutality can destroy the
combined spirit within a unit.

Take care of your fellow soldiers. Be careful with people
that are tensed and nervous. Don´t be afraid to talk.

Don´t stick your head in there without first throwing
a grenade or two, and firing a salvo or two.

The best way to dress is to use multiple
layers instead of few thick ones.

http://www.fmuhc.mil.se/fmpub/pubdok/vintersoldat/bild032
Open up and try to ventilate as often as possible

http://www.fmuhc.mil.se/fmpub/pubdok/vintersoldat/bild048
During cold weather the radio stations range
and and reliability may be affected. Also the

them from the cold.

If the snow is deep the first man will get tired soon.
The 2nd man should take his place after 20-30 meters. Then
the 3rd and so forth.

During a lull in the fighting, take care of your weapon
and yourself.

Cool woot woot Since when has your military used these comics?

[Marmot1]

GREAT do you have more??? and quality is ok :hug: woot woot woot

[Javehn]

That's indeed have to say something about the soldiers quallity in Sweden ;) ... Sorry , really sorry , just couldn't resist , don't take it bad :D :D

[mustamato]

Cool woot woot Since when has your military used these comics?

We have this SoldF book here, "Soldier in the field", it´s simply a book for
the new conscripts, so that they in a "easy way to remember"-way learns
basic stuff. And I think these drawn pictures are also better because it´s
easier to imagine that you are there, than is the case with photos. But
anyway they have been used since the 50´s I think, these SoldF books
are modernized all the time, the latest one is from 2001, but usually
it´s the same pics, but only with new uniforms and weapons.

Very interesting, thanks for posting those mustamato! :)

Is that a BILL in the background? (The APC, I think I am correct in saying, is a PBV 302.)

:D

[Dalleer]

These cartoons are great, almost like a " Swedish army at war- the cartoon" .

[UkrainianAmerican]

Swedish soldiers arent allowed to smoke? why?

[Falco]

Swedish soldiers arent allowed to smoke? why?

I'm not swedish but maybe it's for health concerns ...

[UkrainianAmerican]

Ye, but every army allows soldiers to smoke. Sure its bad for health, but when you are in a freaking warzone, I dont think the fact that you can get cancer, will be your concern.

[UkrainianAmerican]

Even in American army, where we are obsessed about health u could smoke. :|

[khukuri]

you can actually download the books for free legal directly from somewhere of the official swedish mil site. www.mil.se

i just forgot where


edit: Smoking

Youre allowed to smoke in the swedish army. the pics you saw was from a winter warfare survival book. It said during cold condition its not good to smoke and catastrofical to drink alcohol due to survival reasons.

[Falco]

I should try to dig up some ov the CF's instructional videos

http://www.army.dnd.ca/lf/equip/hab/7/71_e.asp here is an example.

[Nondescript]

MolliG Yep that's a BILL

Swedish soldiers are allowed to smoke as much as they want, except indoors or nearby explosives and such things. But it is wise not to smoke when it's cold outside, I think it has somthing to do with the bloodvessels getting thinner and you get cold quicker. I could be wrong.

[mustamato]

Anyone that can guess what they are doing here?

And as for the smoking. Well no it´s not illegal or anything. However you
of course need your commanders approval to smoke each time. It´s not
very suitable to have 5 guys smoking in the middle of the night while
being in a ambush just because they "needed to smoke". The military
peace time training is thus ideal for people to stop smoking. In war I
wouldn´t want to have a smoking soldier behing my back that didn´t get
his 10 daily cigarettes... for a couple of days. He would probably be a bit
tensed. Especially (as the guy that posted before me says), you also get
cold faster. Freezing = not a very good soldier.

Not to get offtopic, but nicotine slows down your pulse, sort of like alcohol, thus u cant keep as warm as u could have without it.

Don´t engage enemy personel that are protected by international laws,
if you don´t want them to attack you either . It could be you that are

Pilots are not allowed to be engaged, but paratroopers are. (Strange eh?)

Heh heh, this is a great picture.

[bison]

i assume, tho am not sure that the reason behind not engaging a pilot is that if you know where he is, he is not really a threat, is easy to capture, and probably has useful information

Maybe it's because the pilot does not possess offensive capabilities but the paratrooper does. Anybody has an answer.

[Ghostwolf]

This painting does have some obvious propaganda value. Are
these "bandits" SPECOPS, or just "pirates on land"?


Don´t engage enemy personel that are protected by international laws, if you don´t want them to attack you either . It could be you that are wounded and helpless.
The same propaganda also applies here. We all know that the combat
medics are the least well armed troops in the army, and even so during
operational deployment on the battlefield.

[Dalleer]

I went digging on my hardrive and found these a bit older pictures of "Swedish instructional cartoons" or something along those lines.

That APC is a Pbv 302

http://img15.photobucket.com/albums/v46/Dalleer/M593.jpg

This last one is not exactly cartoon-material, but has Swedish soldiers in it nevertheless.

EDIT: I searched the net with trusty old google and found the site that these pictures originated from:

I also found another picture that I included into this thread.

[Marxist203]

That's indeed have to say something about the soldiers quallity in Sweden ;) ... Sorry , really sorry , just couldn't resist , don't take it bad :D :D

Yes, that does indeed say something about the quality of soldiers in Sweden. It shows that may'be...just may'be they take more time to train their conscripts in a manner that they will take to quicker. Israeli's are arrogant...everytime I see one of you guys post its always either knocking another military or claiming how great you are. Just shaddap already! you guys are starting to get as bad as the yanks.

Fokk, I have seen some nice cartoons in the norwegian variant of soldf, but unfortanely i forgot to steal the book when i finished my military service.

Oh, no problem. I can't see how any Roman Catholic could possibly be offended by such an even handed and factually accurate comment. I can hardly wait for Sunday, when my congregation will conduct yet another bloodbath down at the soup kitchen.

Who you really have to look out for is those cow-tipping, ice prancing, racially inferior descendants of exiled infected French prostitutes, you know - Canadians.. No offense to any Canadians, but it's a proven fact. :lol:

You're so cluless, I can't get it :cantbeli:
"Save the Church like they have saved us."
Is not like how they saved them physicly but spiritully. I'm church going and "saved" means that you become a Christian.
Also, the Roman Catholics have nothing to do with Sweden. Sweden resisted the catholics many times, In fact they went to war with the Holy Roman Empire at some point. The main churches in Sweden are Lutheren.

Where does it say that??????

As the picture states, they shall not fire against churches, hospitals, mosk or any civilian targets if it can be avoided.

It does not at any point saying : Save the Church like they have saved us.


Ach...

Gonna see if I can get some pictures from the Norwegian Army's book called Soldaten i felt. ( The soldier on campaign.)

They're definetly trying to start an avalanche; must be the Sweedish way of commiting ritual suicide if the battle is lost.

No no...they work for Volvo's styling department - that's the front end of the new sedan...

[Mo]

it's called an avalanch pit, you look at the various layers of snow, and their potention to slide, also you jump up an down on the top of the pit to see how easily it slides.
