[edit] History

The regiment has its origins in the unit Gotlands nationalbeväring which was created in 1811. That unit was reformed into two separate units, Gotlands infanteriregemente and Gotlands artillerikår, in 1887 and the infantry regiment gained the designation I 27 (27th Infantry Regiment). It was reorganised as the battalion size unit Gotlands infanterikår with the new designation I 18 in 1928. It got its regimental name back in 1937. Gotlands infanteriregemente then was reorganized into the armoured Gotlands regemente in 1963.
