Sweden

In Sweden, taking the oath replaces the solemn ceremony, during which the commander read out to the recruits the Soldier’s Memo, the text of which is approved by law.

Since you have just begun your basic military education, I remind you of what it means to be a soldier in the service of our country.

The Swedish Self-Defense Forces are designed to safeguard our peace and our independence. They must protect our freedom to determine their own legal structure and their culture. If Sweden is attacked, we must use force to prevent our country from falling into the hands of the aggressor.

The strength of the Self-Defense Forces and the security of the country are determined by your personal contribution and the contribution of all of us and our general willingness to cooperate in order to solve the tasks entrusted to us.

The significance of your contribution is determined by the knowledge and skills that you acquire during the period of study, and by your will to achieve your goals.

Both in peacetime and in wartime, we must consciously and without sparing our forces solve the tasks set before us and observe the established order.

We must be vigilant about anything that could threaten the security of a country. By our personal example, we must strengthen solidarity and a healthy mind in the Self-Defense Forces. If war breaks out, we must work together to defend our country until our last breath.
