- Today, Tuesday, the Riksdag will make a decision on where the Armed Forces will expand its activities in the coming years. Östersund was for a long time relevant to get a full-scale regiment again.
- But in the political negotiations during the autumn, it shrank to a Field Hunters Association which, at least to begin with, will fall under Västernorrland’s regiment in Sollefteå.
- In Östersund, according to the plans, one shooting company will be trained per year.
But Grytan’s firing range, which the municipality of Östersund bought earlier this year, will be used. That is the opinion of Östersund’s municipal councilor, the center party member Bosse Svensson.
“The Östersund area and the road to Trondheim are still pointed out as strategically important,” he tells P4 Jämtland.
