History

The regiment has its origins in the engineer companies created at Norrbottens regemente in 1902. These companies became independent in 1904 as Bodens ingenjörkår and gained the designation Ing 4 (4th Engineer Regiment). Bodens ingenjörkår gained the new designation Ing 3 in 1937 and was upgraded to a regiment in 1975 and was renamed Bodens ingenjörregemente.

It was then downgraded to a battalion unit again in 1994, and was renamed Norrlands ingenjörkår. In 2000, the battalion became one of five battalions in Norrbottens regemente, with the name Norrlands ingenjörbataljon, the designation Ing 3 was not kept, even though it was still in common use. The battalion was disbanded in 2005.
