US Army Green Berets have trained with Sweden’s Home Guard in unconventional warfare, preparing for a potential conflict with Russia. The drills demonstrate how Sweden is bolstering its defenses and unconventional warfare capabilities as it moves closer to NATO membership, a move supported by Turkey.
  

Key Points: 

  1. The US Army Green Berets conducted training with Sweden’s Home Guard in unconventional warfare techniques during May and June, simulating guerrilla forces for the exercise.
  2. Sweden, accustomed to the threat of conflict due to its proximity to Russia, is bolstering its military capabilities and unconventional warfare strategy in preparation for possible tensions.
  3. Turkey’s president recently supported Sweden’s bid to join NATO, enhancing the alliance’s capacity to deter and counter Russia.
  4. Unconventional warfare is the activities carried out to coerce, disrupt, or overthrow a government or occupying power, often involving recruitment, training, and advisement of local forces to achieve these objectives.
  5. Despite a history of neutrality, Sweden has been inching towards NATO, signaling a shift in its military alignment and strategy, which now includes preparedness for unconventional warfare scenarios.
