The Norrland Artillery Regiment (Swedish: Norrlands artilleriregemente), designation A 4, was a Swedish Army artillery regiment that traced its origins back to the 19th century. The regiment's soldiers were originally recruited from the provinces of Norrland. The regiment was disbanded in 1997. From 1998 to 2000, the Boden Artillery Regiment (Bodens artilleriregemente) was known by this name.
History
The regiment was created in 1893 by splitting off two batteries from 1st Svealand Artillery Regiment and two batteries from 1st Götaland Artillery Regiment which formed six batteries of Norrland Artillery Regiment. The regiment was garrisoned in Östersund but a detachment in Boden was created in 1910, this detachment was split off in 1928 and created Norrbotten Artillery Corps. The regiment's designation was A 4 (4th Artillery Regiment). Norrland Artillery Regiment was disbanded in 1997.
