Norrland Logistic Battalion

The unit was raised 1893 as a battalion and förlades till Stockholm. Sollefteå municipal community (municipalsamhälle) offered the Swedish state to locate the logistic battalion to a couple of agricultural properties at Remsle mo next to the northern shore of the Ångerman River, and by a decision on 17 September 1893, 57 hectares and 3 are, were handed over free of charge to the state provided that Norrland Logistic Battalion was actually located in Sollefteå. The unit was relocated to Sollefteå in May 1898. The unit became a corps in 1902 and in the 1910s, the corps consisted of two logistic companies and a medical company with a total of 15 officers, 20 non-commissioned officers, 81 volunteers and conscripts from all over Norrland. ==Locations and training areas==

Barracks Stockholm When the unit was formed in 1893, it was the first years located together with Svea Logistic Battalion in Marieberg, Stockholm. In May 1894, the unit was relocated to Fredrikshov Castle in Stockholm and on 7 May 1898, the unit officially moved into its newly built barracks establishment at Trängvägen in Sollefteå. Sollefteå The 1892 Army Order meant that conscription training became both longer and broader in content. Permanent accommodation buildings, so-called barracks, were required. On behalf of Sollefteå, SEK 370,000 was requested for the construction of a chancellery building, barracks building (later the A barracks), a food facility (later classroom), a barracks building (later D barracks), an exercise hall (later a gymnasium) and a workshop building, storage building and three outbuildings.
