Upplands regemente (Uppland Regiment), designations Ing 3, S 1 and S 1/Fo 47, was a Swedish Army signal regiment that traced its origins back to the 19th century. It was disbanded in 2006. The regiment was garrisoned in Uppland.

History[]

The regiment has its origins in the field signal (later telegraphy) company raised in 1871 and subordinated to Pontonjärbataljonen in 1875. The company was redesignated as Fälttelegrafkåren and with designation Ing 3 (3rd Engineer Regiment) in 1902 when it became independent. An aircraft squadron was created in 1916 and split from the unit in 1926, this squadron would later become the Swedish Air Force.

The unit was reorganised and renamed to Signalregementet with the designation S 1 (1st Signal Regiment) when the signal troops became a separate arm in 1937. A in 1915 detached company of the unit later became Norrlands signalregemente and another in 1944 detached company later became Göta signalregemente.

It was renamed to Upplands signalregemente in 1957 and in 1974 to Upplands regemente. The same name was used by the infantry regiment Upplands regemente, although the signal regiment does not trace its origins from this regiment, even though the victory names were transferred to the signal regiment.

In 1974, the regiment gained the new designation S 1/Fo 47 as a consequence of a merge with the local defence area Fo 47. The designation was changed back to S 1 in 2000 when the defence area was disbanded. Upplands regemente was disbanded in 2006 but was replaced by Ledningsregementet which took the role that the regiment previously had.
