The Scanian Logistic Battalion (Swedish: Skånska trängbataljonen, T 4) was a Swedish Army logistic unit operating between 1894 and 1994. The unit was based in Hässleholm.




History


The unit traces its origins to Wendes Logistic Battalion, which was raised in 1894 at Göta Logistic Battalion and which was initially located in Karlsborg. In May 1895, the battalion moved to Landskrona (Wendes Artillery Regiment's barracks). In 1901, the battalion's name was changed to Wendes Logistic Corps and in 1904 to Scanian Logistic Corps. In 1902, the 2nd Göta Logistic Corps was raised were the battalion was based. In October 1907, the corps moved to newly built barracks in Hässleholm. In the 1910s, the corps had two logistic and a medical company as well as a volunteer force of 68 men (with trumpeters). On 1 July 1949, the corps was changed to a regiment and in connection with this, part of the 1st Quartermaster Company (Förste intendenturkompaniet, Int 1) and the 1st Ordnance Company (Första tygkompaniet, Tyg 1) were amalgamated into the new regiment. Companies from the regiment have been stationed in Kristianstad and Revingehed. The regiment receives its conscripts mainly from Scania, Blekinge, Småland and Öland.
