Roslagen Air Defence Corps, Air defence regiment in Norrtälje, Sweden.

The Roslagen Air Defence Corps operated from a military compound featuring training areas for motor exercises, shooting ranges, and fire control facilities.

Established on October 1, 1939, as Stockholm Anti-Aircraft Regiment, the corps relocated to Norrtälje in 1952 and continued operations until June 2000.

The regiment received its military standard from King Gustaf V in 1942 and maintained a coat of arms depicting Saint Eric with gunbarrels and wings.

The corps utilized three main training zones: Nordrona for motor training, Mellingeholm for intelligence operations, and Väddö for live ammunition exercises.

One battery from the regiment operated independently on Gotland island in 1944 under the specific designation Lv 3 G.
