Chapter 11 · Sweden and the wider world
En svensk kvinna fyller 18 år 2026 och bor i Sverige. Innebär hennes mönstringsunderlag automatiskt att hon ska genomföra militär grundutbildning?
A Swedish woman turns 18 in 2026 and lives in Sweden. Does receiving the conscription questionnaire automatically mean she will undergo basic military training?
Correct answer: No, the information is followed by selection, possible assessment and an enrolment decision
The obligations apply to both women and men, but not everyone undergoes basic military training. The questionnaire helps select those called for tests and assessments; enrolment is decided afterwards.

Why this option does not fit
Ja, alla som får underlaget är redan inskrivna till utbildningen
The questionnaire is first used for selection. Receiving it is not the same as an enrolment decision.
Nej, kvinnor omfattas bara om de själva anmäler sig frivilligt
The duty rules also apply to women. For women it is not solely a voluntary system.
Ja, folkbokföringen räcker som beslut om militär utbildning
Population registration matters for who receives the questionnaire, but does not replace selection and an enrolment decision.
