Norrland Logistic Battalion
military unit
The Norrland Logistic Battalion (Swedish: Norrlands trängbataljon, Trängbat/I 5), previously Norrland Logistic Corps (Swedish: Norrlands trängkår, T 3) was a Swedish Army logistic unit operating between 1893 and 2004. The unit was first based in Stockholm, then for over 100 years in Sollefteå and finally in Östersund.
History
The unit was raised 1893 as a battalion and förlades till Stockholm. Sollefteå municipal community (municipalsamhälle) offered the Swedish state to locate the logistic battalion to a couple of agricultural properties at Remsle mo next to the northern shore of the Ångerman River, and by a decision on 17 September 1893, 57 hectares and 3 are, were handed over free of charge to the state provided that Norrland Logistic Battalion was actually located in Sollefteå. The unit was relocated to Sollefteå in May 1898. The unit became a corps in 1902 and in the 1910s, the corps consisted of two logistic companies and a medical company with a total of 15 officers, 20 non-commissioned officers, 81 volunteers and conscripts from all over Norrland.

Stockholm
When the unit was formed in 1893, it was the first years located together with Svea Logistic Battalion in Marieberg, Stockholm. In May 1894, the unit was relocated to Fredrikshov Castle in Stockholm and on 7 May 1898, the unit officially moved into its newly built barracks establishment at Trängvägen in Sollefteå.
Sollefteå
The 1892 Army Order meant that conscription training became both longer and broader in content. Permanent accommodation buildings, so-called barracks, were required.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Norrland Logistic Battalion” as military unit. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as military unit. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 26, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q10602858. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1893, 2004, 1898 and 1902.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
