What does it stand for? I am guessing amphibious battalion?
Correct Teufel.
Once upon a time we had six AMFBAT,s spread out over the coastline since Sweden= small country, long coastline.
In one AMFBAT there were 2 KJ (Kustjägare) company,s 1 Amphib company (mine platoon) (RBS17 (rebuilt hellfire system for AS purposes) platoon) and (support platoon) 1 Staff company with an attachment of attackdivers 1 boats company and 1 Supply company.
The unit mainly moves around in Strb 90,s (combatcraft 90) and/or hovercrafts.
Today these units have turned to shit with cutbacks.
But they still train KJ,s for our SOF.
The unit were foremost used in the archipelago and/or coastlines but the latest real world deployment of parts of the unit were to the desserts of Chad go figure.
