III. CONSTITUTION AND ADMINISTRATION.
The Landstorm. Sweden is divided into a number of landstorm
districts, as a rule two, in exceptional cases one, three, or more, to each
enrolment sub-district. The landstorm troops of each district are
distributed, according to their numbers, into infantry battalions and infantry
companies. Landstorm divisions are also made up of the other branches
of the service, units for coast defence, army works corps, and so forth.
The army on a war footing. The organizing of the army in the
field comprises the appointment of the higher staffs, the bringing up of the
troops to war strength and their equipment with necessaries, as well as
the assembling of the mobilised battalions. It also includes the organization
of landstorm divisions, étape system, garrisons of fortresses, and depot
troops.
At present the number of trained men in the Swedish army, liable
to serve in time of war, may be estimated at about 600 000.
The arms of the infantry are repeating rifles on the Mauser system,
