Abstract [en]

The art of tactical adjustment or military adaption are key abilities for an army to be effective on the battlefield. The knowledge of how a unit adapts during different scenarios is good to know for other units, therefore should reports of how they adapted and what they learned be passed on through the organisation. The problem whitin the Swedish armed forces is the lack of reports of lessons learned from day to day activities to the land combat centre. The main purpose of this studie is to examine organizational learning whitin military organisations. 

This studie conducts interviews with six platoon comanders from different branches of the army. The comanders were asked how they conduct training with tactical adaption and lessons learned, what they do with the information they recovered from training. 

The results from the studie proves that tactical adjustment and lessons learned is something that happens in the Swedish armed forces at an almost day to day basis and is a desirable ability for every unit to master. Although the comanders that were interviewed are lower down in the hierarchy of the Swedish armed forces and may not have the full picture of what happens to their reports after they been sent, they know that the reports and lessons learned were sent higher up in the hierarchy. 

The main conclusion of this studie is that something needs to be done about the lessons learned system. Units training with tactical adaption provides reports with lessons learned, however the landwarfarecenter aren’t receiving any reports
