The Boden Engineer Regiment (Swedish: Bodens ingenjörregemente), designations Ing 4, Ing 3 and Ingbat/I 19, was a Swedish Army engineer regiment, one of the few new formations raised in the 20th century. It was disbanded in 2005. The regiment was garrisoned in Boden, Sweden.
History
The regiment has its origins in the engineer companies created at Norrbottens regemente in 1902. These companies became independent in 1904 as Bodens ingenjörkår and gained the designation Ing 4 (4th Engineer Regiment). Bodens ingenjörkår gained the new designation Ing 3 in 1937 and was upgraded to a regiment in 1975 and was renamed Bodens ingenjörregemente.
It was then downgraded to a battalion unit again in 1994, and was renamed Norrlands ingenjörkår. In 2000, the battalion became one of five battalions in Norrbottens regemente, with the name Norrlands ingenjörbataljon, the designation Ing 3 was not kept, even though it was still in common use. The battalion was disbanded in 2005.
