The armoured corps regiment [[Skaraborg Regiment (armoured)|Skaraborg Regiment]] (P 4) and the logistics corps regiment [[Göta Logistic Regiment]] (T 2) are both located in Skövde, as is the Army Combat school.

===History===
Around the year 1900, several [[Swedish Army]] units became stationed in Skövde. In 1913 the Skaraborg Regiment also moved there, costing the city a lot of money but also contributing to increased consumption and business. Today the [[garrison]] is one of the largest in Sweden.

There are several military units in Skövde, [[Skaraborg Regiment (armoured)|Skaraborg Regiment]] (P 4) and the [[Göta Logistic Regiment]] (T 2) with the Swedish Armed Forces Logistics and Motor School (''Försvarsmaktens logistik och motorskola'', LogS) and the [[Land Warfare Centre (Sweden)|Land Warfare Centre]] (MSS). P 4 trains primarily mechanized shooting units and tank units while TrängR trains logistics units of various types. The Land Warfare Centre is for the training of officers in land combat as well as development methods and evaluation practice. The Logistics School is a joint armed school that develops the skills of students and staff from the [[Swedish Army|Army]], [[Swedish Navy|Navy]] and [[Swedish Air Force|Air Force]] within disciplines of military science, military technology, leadership and individual combat fighting. The Logistics School is located at the Göta Logistic Regiment in Skövde and works together with the Armed Forces Logistics Regiment Centre of Excellence in Logistics. After the recent decision by Defence, Skövde's garrison's role in the Armed Forces has increased, with smaller units being moved to Skövde, including the Armed Forces Engine School and Logistics School.

New duties for the troops in the city include erecting and manning positions for the [[Nordic Battle Group]], a task force within the [[European Union|European Union's]] [[European Union Battle Group|battlegroup]] concept. In essence, Skövde garrison has commitments of approximately 230 soldiers and officers in a logistics [[battalion]], nearly one hundred in an infantry battalion staff and also a couple of independent [[platoon]]s. Additionally, further troops are assigned to the separate mechanized operation company IA07.
