Lifesaving in the water - Something that is of highest importance for everyone to know in case of an emergency at sea. There are people who doesn’t know what to do and how to act, if an emergency situation involving lifesaving in water, occur. At the other end of the scale there are a few skillful men and women who are perfectly educated and well trained in the honorable art of saving the life of a victim in a distress situation in the water. During seven days, in August, some of the world’s most skilled men and women, from eleven nations, will be gathered in Halmstad to compete and to determine who would be the best companion to have, if you encounter an emergency situation and require assistance in the water. Sweden is very proud to arrange, for the first time, this years Lifesaving champion- ship in the waters outside the beautiful town Halmstad. This is famous grounds for Swedish lifesavers education and work. The beaches in the area are very popular and lifesavers at work are essential. As the Chief of Staff Swedish Navy, I take great pleasure in being patron of the Lifesaving Championship 2016. My hope is that it will be an appreciated and decisive competition. I welcome you all and wish you the best of luck in the competition. I also hope you will all take the opportunity to follow the device of the International Military Sport Council; “Friendship through sport!” Rear Admiral Jens Nykvist Patron of the Lifesaving Championship 2016 4 CONTESTANTS AND LEADERS A warm welcome to Halmstad and World Military Lifesaving Championship.

Colonel Anders Svensson Commanding officer Air Defence Regiment and Halmstad Garrison 5 THE AIR DEFENCE REGIMENT (ADR) The Air Defence Regiment is an Army unit, but also has a vital role in the nation’s air defence, tasked with moni- toring swedish air space, detecting airborne threats and protecting vital objects and organisations from air attack. The two Air Defence Battalions within the national Armed Forces are trained and held in readiness within the fields of intelligence gathering through radar surveillance, com- bat control, logistics and defence against attack from the air using anti-aircraft missile systems. The ADR is on permanent stand-by for both national and international service and is responsible for organizing and training units for overseas operations. Officers and cadets in the Regiment are trained at the Air Defence Combat School (LvSS), which together with Hallandsgruppen (the Home Guard, Halland), are part of the ADR.
