Bergslagen Artillery Regiment

The Bergslagen Artillery Regiment (), designation A 9, was an artillery regiment of the Swedish Army, which was active from 1943 to 2000.
History.
The regiment was created as part of a build-up of the Swedish Army during World War II, so that Sweden's neutrality could be protected. In accordance with the Defence Act of 2000, the regiment and the other artillery regiments of the Swedish Army were amalgamated into the Artillery Regiment, in Kristinehamn, which took the A 9 designation from the Bergslagen Artillery Regiment.
