Norrbottens regemente (Norrbotten Regiment), also I 19, is a Swedish Army armoured regiment located in the province of Norrbotten that traces its origins back to the 19th Century. It is still in active service.
History
The regiment was created when Västerbottens regemente was split in 1841 into two corps units, one of them being Norrbottens fältjägarkår. The unit was renamed to Norrbottens regemente in 1892. A skiing batallion was created in 1910, and later, in 1943 split off from the regiment. The battalion was reorganized in the 1970s into Lapplands jägarregemente. Norrbottens regemente was given the designation I 19 (19th Infantry Regiment).
It was merged with Norrbottens pansarbataljon (P 5) in 1975, and gained the designation I 19/P 5. For a short time in the 1990s, the unit was merged with the wartime organized Norrbottensbrigaden. In 2000, the unit was reorganized once again, and was redesignated back to its old designation I 19 despite being an armoured regiment, the name was also changed back to Norrbottens regemente. It is garrisoned in Boden.
