Description

Swedish Armed Forces have to dismiss 500 employees due to the government's new defence strategy. The notice affects the whole country but especially in the divisions: logistic, human resources and information. Main part of the reductions will take place in November this year and the remaining part in May and November next year (2010) and further dismissals will probably take place the following years.
