Defence Act of 2000 (Sweden)
Lovkal:
'''The Defence Act of 2000''' (prop. 1999/2000:30) was the largest reorganisation of the [[Swedish Armed Forces]] since the Defence Act of 1925. The act was a continuation of the policies set in motion starting with the Defence Act of 1996; refocusing the military from a large-scale doctrine of invasion defence, to a smaller-scale, more flexible "operational defence" (Swedish: ''Insatsförsvar''). The Act resulted in the dissolution of many military units and commands.
