Swedish Amphibious Corps
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Amfibiekåren (the Amphibious Corps) is the coastal defence arm of the Swedish Navy. Until 2000 it was known as Kustartilleriet (the Coastal Artillery), but the name was changed to reflect its different role in a post-cold war world, where its amphibious special operations arm, "Kustjägarna", has grown in significance while its coastal batteries have become less important.
