context_page_description: Östgöta Anti-Aircraft Regiment, also Lv 2, was a Swedish Army anti-aircraft unit that was active in various forms between 1938–1962. The unit was based in Linköping.
context_section_description: When Östgöta Anti-Aircraft Regiment was raised, the regiment was placed on the eastern part of the double barracks area that had originally been built for the 1st Life Grenadier Regiment, which was erected after the 1901 Army Order's building program after the Kasernbyggnadsnämnden ("Barracks Building Committee") second type drawing series for infantry establishments. The two barracks areas were separated by a road, and were basically a mirror image of each other, with their own canteen, their own storage room, their own hospital and their respective mess and so on. In the eastern part of the double barracks area, an anti-aircraft school was located. Through the Defence Act of 1958, it was decided that the Östgöta Anti-Aircraft Regiment should be disbanded, which resulted in the anti-aircraft school being relocated to Gothenburg Garrison. In compensation for the garrison, it was decided in the same Defence Act that Svea Artillery Regiment should be placed in Linköping. Svea Artillery Regiment was moved from Rissne, Sundbyberg to Linköping in the spring of 1963, and took over the barracks in the eastern part. In 1997, all the remaining units in the garrison were disbanded, and the double barracks area was sold to the state real estate development company Vasallen.
