  :That wouldn't be correct. The Home Guard battalions are military units that belongs to their different training regiments and are thus considered a part of the Army (even those who has another kind of unit as training unit). I'd be the first to agree that the Home Guard battalions need a lot more equipment and training to function at their best, but the SAF considers them military units.  :The frivilligorganisationer like Försvarsutbildarna, FRO, SVK, Lottakåren and so on are volunteer organizations with a military profile.
