''Smalandia Grand Regiment'', ''Smålands storregemente'' (also ''Regiment of the Land in Smalandia'', ''Landsregementet i Småland'') was one of the nine List of Swedish regiments organized by Gustavus Adolphus in the late 1610s and split into smaller regiments in the 1620s. ==History== Raised from ''fänikor'' in the province of Smalandia and in the counties of Kalmar County and Kronoberg County in 1616 and counting 3,000 men. The ''fänikor'' where smaller units of 500 men. The regiment had seven ''fänikor'' and 2,478 men in 1618 under the command of Herman Wrangel. The grand regiment was in turn organized into three field regiments (''fältregementen'') and a cavalry regiment, thus actually being more like a brigade in spite of the name. The regiment did not take part in any campaign during its short lifetime. The grand regiments of Sweden where re-organized during the early 1620s to consist of three field regiments, each of eight company (military unit) of 150 men, thus making the total number 3,600 soldiers per grand regiment. It is unsure whether or not the cavalry regiment was included in the total number. In 1623, the regiment was split into three smaller regiments, ''Kronoberg Regiment'', ''Kalmar Regiment'' and the ''Smalandia Cavalry Regiment''. ==Organization== Before being split, the regiment was organized as follows: *''1:a fältregementet'' (1st Field Regiment) **8 companies from Kalmar County *''2:a fältregementet'' (2nd Field Regiment) **8 companies from Kronoberg County *''3:e fältregementet'' (3rd Field Regiment) **4 companies from Kalmar County **4 companies from Kronoberg County *''Kavalleriregementet'' (Cavalry Regiment) **8 companies from Smalandia ==Campaigns== *None known. ==See also== *List of Swedish regiments *List of Swedish wars *History of Sweden *Provinces of Sweden Swedish regiments
