Cavalry.
Sweden is divided into 26 inskrivningsområden or enrolment districts and
78 rullföringsområden or sub-districts. The chief of the infantry regiment
drawing-its men from the district is, as a rule, in charge of the enrolment district. The
commander of a sub-district must be an officer in the reserve. — There are also
naval enrolment districts.
To each sub-district there is an enrolment board, and to each enrolment
district a (superior) revising board. These boards are composed of both military
and civilian members, and are assisted by medical officers.
Enrolment takes place annually; in certain cases permission may be granted
for enrolment before the due time.
In 1912, out of 72 758 men liable for enrolment, 8 589 were struck off,
20 243 were absent, 7 043 were exempted, 1 869 were granted respite, and
35 014 were enrolled for military service.
1 Literally: rehearsal exercises. In the repetitionsövningar the conscripts are trained
in larger units than in the rekrytskola, their first training period.
