  1. ^ Sweden is not a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation. The translations to British Army ranks have been taken from an official Swedish Armed Forces publication (The Facts 2005 (PDF). Swedish Armed Forces.) and NATO rank codes have been extrapolated from those the British Army assigns to the equivalent rank.
  2. ^ Since 1 June 2000, no one can be appointed Öv 1.gr (Överste av första graden). The rank of Brigadgeneral has replaced it. However, those already appointed Överste av första graden were not automatically promoted, thus the rank will cease to exist when all holding it are retired (or promoted).
