The old 90 system will continue to be used until 2030 and all civilian employees can expect to keep their current uniform for a while longer.
Gender neutral uniform
The new field uniform FU 24 will be common for all Nordic countries where only the camouflage will be different. The Swedish version has smaller color blocks than today and with three crowns interspersed in the pattern.
