– It is extremely rewarding to have managed to increase the numbers. I will say that the quality of those seeking is better than ever, says Ewa Skoog Haslum, Head of Education at the College of Defense

How important is it for the defense as a whole and for l & # 39; future?

But the new trend has been going on for a while. In 2017, 148 cadets and 2016 were adopted, which pleased Dennis Gyllensporre, Chief of the Armed Forces Management Team

In total, 585 people sought 60 places in the fall. More than 200 newly arrived cadets will be sitting on the school bench this fall.
