The Entire Swedish Home Guard Was Just Mobilized

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


A few weeks back, the government of Sweden sent out a booklet to every household in the country urging citizens to prepare for war or other crises.

A few months back, they told citizens that they should be prepared to last for at least a week without any help from the government.

Last night, in the most unsettling move yet, they mobilized the entire Swedish Home Guard for an “unannounced preparedness exercise.” All 40 battalions have been activated, effective immediately. The report is on the Försvarsmakten website, which is the official website of the Swedish Armed Forces.

Here’s the English translation: For the first time since 1975, the Armed Forces carry out an unannounced emergency preparedness control of the entire Hemvärnet. All staff around Sweden who are part of one of the 40 home war battalions and who have the opportunity to attend the evening of 5 June and during the national day will be in charge of service. 

The alarm is ordered by the Armed Forces and participation in the exercise is voluntary. “We are committed to strengthening Sweden’s defense and increasing our operational capabilities. 

This is a way to do it. This exercise is great in several ways. We are testing the emergency chain for almost half our intervention organization, we have not done since 1975, says Micael Bydén, the commander. Initially, staff – from north to south – will be contacted and invited to stand for service. 

Thereafter, relations will begin to solve tasks, such as protection, guarding and patrolling. During the national day, home care personnel will be seen in many places around the country, from ports and airports to streets and squares. Since it is a voluntary exercise, the Armed Forces can not force anyone to settle, but the chief commander shows great confidence in his staff.

What this means The Hemvärnet is the Swedish equivalent of the American National Guard. The Home Guard – National Security Forces (Swedish: Hemvärnet – Nationella Skyddsstyrkorna) is a military reserve force of the Swedish Armed Forces.

It was formally established on May 29, 1940, during World War II upon popular demand. While originally composed of former militia groups, today it comprises half of the Swedish Army, thus constituting the basis of the territorial defense of Sweden.

The Swedish National Home Guard consists mainly of local rapid response units, numbering 17,000 of the 22,000 total Home Guard strength, organized in 40 battalions, with 23 associated auxiliary defense organizations. (source)

This “unannounced preparedness exercise” may be just that – a readiness drill. But there are a few things that ring some warning bells for me: A “drill” of this magnitude hasn’t happened since 1975 at the height of the Cold War It’s occurring on the heels of two other warnings of looming war or crises And keep in mind that the war preparedness book that was recently sent out mentioned the possibility of re-establishing conscription (the draft), too.

The Swedish website, The Local, reports: The exercise is part of Sweden’s national effort to rebuild its Cold War Total Defence strategy in response to an increasingly belligerent Russia.

The last time Sweden’s Armed Forces called up the entire Home Guard at once was in 1975 at the height of the Cold War.

Just a week ago Sweden’s Civil Contingencies Agency sent out its “If Crisis or War Comes” brochure to more than four million Swedish households, advising them to stock up on water, tinned and dry food, and other essentials to increase Sweden’s resilience.

The country also last month reestablished a regiment on the Baltic island of Gotland. In the event of an invasion, Sweden’s Home Guard is responsible for protecting the core functions of the Swedish state, guarding government agencies, airports, or ports, so that the professional army is free for front-line duties. (source) It would be wise to be on the lookout for something to happen soon. 

What that “something” might be, of course, is open to speculation. What do you think is going on?

Could they be preparing to quell a migrant uprising in the no-go zones? 

Back in January, the Swedish Prime Minister said he did not “rule out the use of the army to end gang violence.” Or are they truly concerned about a threat from Russia?

      Some seem to think that Sweden already got invaded ?

    • Slimey

      They need to remove the Muslims. EVERY LAST one of them. It’s not working out – PERIOD!!

    • plsnogod

      It is sadly true Sweden,and the rest of Europe,are lost. It will take 2 or 3 generations,but a muslim caliphate is inevitable.

      Even if mass immigration stopped right now,which it will not,the muslims outbreed native Europeans by a factor of 3 to 1 or higher.

      What most people do not understand that the islamic population in an entity,one body,united.

      Forget the ‘moderate’ muslims.They are irrelevant. They will never stand up to the 25% radicals,and in fact most tacitly support them.It is the most successful brainwashing operation in human history.

      People in Europe are very slowly waking up,but still mired down by the dumb mainstream media. Italy and yes even Sweden are finally starting to come to their senses.

      If only what was really happening was reported truthfully,but it will never be.

      It is sadly too late. I am rarely a defeatist,but the war is already over.
      There will be alot of bloodshed as people start to realise the destructive force in their midst. However,it is already too late.

      RIP western culture,womens equality,the fine arts,the renaissance,learning,high IQ’s,freedom of expression(already gone),freedom full stop. A sharia totalitarianism is all that awaits.

      How often do we see on the news any reporting at all of the muslim grooming and raping gangs in the UK,or the explosion of rapes of Swedish girls by young muslim males.Or the firebombing of Swedish police stations,the mass raping in Germany and Austria,the nightly riots and sexual assaults in Paris and other French cities. The fact that after years of progression to equality of women in a civilised Europe,many females are scared to go out at night.
      The fact that one Swedish police force organised armed evening jogging groups for women so they did not get raped,was not widely reported.Nor was the installation of microphones to pick up the sounds of women screaming.

      Most Europeans simply don’t understand islam,and it’s contempt for the infidel,and it’s ‘god-given’ right to conquer.

      This time it is an insidious invasion.An invasion of numbers,by breeding.

      Is it not odd that the huge London demonstration against the jailing of Tommy Robinson was not reported at all on the media?

      No,not odd at all.

      The only reason I can write this is because this is an American based website,an America where free speech still exists(just).

      Had I tried to write this in a european forum,I would probably be in jail right now.

      My friends in the USA, I appeal to you,do not follow Europe to destruction by believing islam can co-exist with a free country.

      Islam is a destructive parasite,which will consume and destroy any counrty which give it a foothold.

      There’s a near earth asteroid tomorrow 6/15 that’S flying between earth and the moon.

      Not saying that’s THE reason they mobilized but perhaps they know something we don’t.
