Swedish Amphibious Corps

The Amphibious Corps (Swedish: Amfibiekåren) is the coastal defence arm of the Swedish Navy. Until 2000 it was known as Coastal Artillery (Swedish: Kustartilleriet), but the name was changed to reflect its different role in a post-Cold War world, where its amphibious special operations arm, the Coastal Rangers, has grown in significance while its coastal batteries have been decommissioned.
