Västmanland Logistic Corps
The Västmanland Logistic Corps (, T 5) was a Swedish Army logistic corps operating between 1902 and 1927. The unit was based in Sala, Västmanland. History Västmanland Logistic Corps was formed as the 2nd Svea Logistic Corps (No 5), according to the 1901 Riksdag decision. The corps was raised on 1 October 1902 in Stockholm as the 2nd Svea Logistic Corps. However, the first conscription training had already begun on 9 May 1902. The corps was initially co-located with the 1st Svea Logistic Corps in Marieberg, Stockholm. The corps, which belonged to the 5th Army Division, had two logistic companies and one medical company. When production in Sala Silver Mine was reduced and finally ceased in 1908, the city looked for new activities that could provide employment. This led to the 2nd Svea Logistic Corps being relocated to Västmanland and on 8 December 1904 received the new name Västmanlands Logistic Corps. When the new barracks were not completed, the corps was initially relocated to the grounds of Salbohed. On 28 March 1906, the corps moved into its newly built barracks establishment on Josefsdalssvägen in Sala. Through the Defence Act of 1925, it was decided that the corps would be amalgamated
