NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE SURVEY 11; SWEDEN; ARMED FORCES

SECRET ll /GS /AF May 1973 NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE SURVEY SECRET APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2009/06/16: CIA- RDP01- 00707R000200090016 -9 NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE SURVEY PUBLICATIONS The basic unit of the NIS is the General Survey, which is now published in a bound -by- chapter format so that topics of greater per- ishability can be updated on an individual basis. These chapters� Country Profile, The Society, Government and Politics, The Economy, Military Geog- raphy, Transportation and Telecommunications, Armed Forces, Science, and Intelligence and Security, provide the primary NIS coverage. Some chapters, particularly Science and Intelligence and Security, that are not pertinent to all countries, are produced selectively. For small countries requiring only minimal NIS treatment, the General Survey coverage may be bound into one volume. Supplementing the General Survey is the NIS Basic Intelligem -c Fact book, ready reference publication that semiannually updates key sta- tistical data found in the Survey. An unclassified edition of ite factbook omits some details on the economy, the defense forces, and the intelligence onli security organizations. Although detailed sections on many topics were part of the NIS Program, production of these sections has been phased out. Those pre- viously produced will continue to be available as long as the major portion of the study is considered valid. A 4uarterly listing of all active NIS units is published in the Inventory of Available NIS Publications, which is also bound into the concurrent classified Factbook. The Inventory lists all NIS units by area name and number and includes classification and date of issue; it thu'. facilitates the ordering of NIS units as well as their filing, cataloging, and !jtilization. Initial dissemination, additional copies of NIS units, or separate chapters of the General Surveys can be obtained directly )r through liaison channels from the Centrai Intelligence Agency. The General Survey is prepared for the NIS by the Central Intelligence Agency and the Defense Intelligence Agency under the gerieral direction of the NIS Committee. It is coordinated, edited, published, and dissemi- nated by the Central Intelligence Agency.

Air force The Roval Swedish Air Force (IiSAF') is organized to maintain air defense of Sweden, perforrn tactical operations in c�onjuuction with ground and naval forces, and provide rec�onnaissarnce for seirfave forces. (S) 'I'lie air force lacks combat experience and the logistic and personnel support uec�essar% to maintain itself ill sustained combat. Nevertheless, the IISAI: is in a continuous state of readiness, maintains it high state of sectirity ur' its bases. and is well led and \cell trained. In the event of an attack on Sweden the air force \%ould be capable of :i vigorotis initial defense against an enemy of con'p;irable strength and celuipr'u�nt, bat it would be unable to maintain it sristaincd effort against it major aggressor.

J- 351)/F Drakes all- weather fighters, J �35A /8 day fighters. Blood- hound 11 surface -to -air missiles (SAM's), and armv- controlled air defense artillery (ADA) and Hawk SAM units. The complete air defense force is well trained and maintained in a semialert condition. However, vnlnerahilities exist including incomplete radar coverage, a lack of electronic- counter countermeasure (F.C:CM) capability, probable saturation of early warning and ground control facilities during a massive enemy air attack, and inadequate petroleum stores. The tactical forces consist of four attack wings, with aging A -32A Lansens, and two reconnaissance wings, with both S -32C and S -33E aircraft. Pilots are proficient in ground and sea tactics, but are limited by the lack of emphasis placed on joint service training. Transport aircraft are adequate to satisfy peacetime requirements but do not have sufficient capability to meet emergency airlift needs. In spite of plans to mobilize the Swedi0h- registered civil air fleet to aug gent its airlift capacity, tlx� !;S;\1. would be hard pressv l `o neet its airlift c�onnitnents in the ewes; of all ii on of Sweden h major poi The number of nlilitark personnel on duty totals 12,100 (750 pilots, 120 trainees, 200 other aircrew, 10,930 ground personnel, and 10O missile personnel). in addition, the air force emplo\s about 4,600 civilians. Upon mobilization, an immediate air force reserve force of 1,855 personnel would he assigned to active (luty ,nits and would be able to function without further training. An additional 10.000 to 45,1)00 conscripts will) have completed their 24 active duty could he mobilized to auKmeat the irnmediate air force reserve force. A 72 -hour mobilization plan pro-Ades sufficient personnel to accomplish assigned wartime rnissiors. Mobilization provides enough pilots and navigators to man operational aircraft on a 1 -to -I hasis. The RSAF is probably the only service capable of meeting its mobilization plan.

The remaining two art- based at Lu;ea%Kallax and Ostersurd Airfields in northern Sweden. 3. Training (C) The Training Office in Section 11 of the Air Staff handles training plans arid policies, but the various flying training schools are under the direct control of the Commander in Chief of the Air Force. The most significant air force schools and their locations are as follows: Air Force Academy Uppsala Airfield Flying Training School Ljungbyhed Airfield Halland Schools technical, signals, Halmstad and general troop training) Roslagen Schools radar, radar con- Hagernas near Stock trollers, and air traffic controllers) Kohn) Helicopter School Ronneby Airfield Weather School Kalmar Airfield Selected air force officers also attend the Roval National Defense College and the Roval Armed Forces Staff College, both located in Stockholm. Conscripts normally receive 12 weeks of basic� general military training, after which they are considered ready for service. The remaining 10 weeks of conscript dub arc spent in practice arid simulated exercises. Upon completion of compulsory service. training continues through participation in a refresher training program, which is closely tied to regular air force operations. Nevertheless, the value of this refresher training and readiness of the individual after active duty release are questionable. 'The quality of basic, specialist, and operational training is average. However, the output is considered adequate for current or projected air force needs, except for the pilot category where it shortage of experienced pilots exists. Three pilot training courses of approximately 7 5 students each are conducted yearly at Ljungbyhed Airfield. These flight training programs consist of 12 months of instruction in both prop and jet trainers. Upon completion of the I year program, pilots are assigned for 6 months to Uppsala Airfield where they undergo 65 hours of transitional training in the Draken tit# r4l u, cell as 25 hours in it flight simulator. 'The\ are then assigned to an operational conversion squadron for over 200 hours of operational training in the Draken. Air force pilots are limited to 120 flying hours per year, ntostl\ in 15 to 45- minute flights. 4. Logistics (S) The supple arid maintenance system operates effectively in peacetime. However, inexperience in wartime requirements would be a tremendous handicap, particularly if the hostile action required continuous utilization of equipment.
