Abstract [en]

 As a result of changing security policy conditions and increased personnel movements military organizations around the world they are facing increased demands for development and adaptation. Despite clear goals for organizational learning, there is limited knowledge about how military organizations learn from their experiences, especially at lower levels. Therefore, this study examines the conditions for organizational learning at lower levels in military organizations. The purpose of the study is to increase understanding of the factors that influence organizational learning in military organizations. The focus is particularly on lower levels within the Swedish Armed Forces, where everyday learning takes place in practice. By examining how different organizational factors interact, the study aims to contribute to knowledge about how learning can be supported and developed within military structures. The study shows that organizational learning is enabled by  decentralized decision-making at a unit level within the Swedish Armed Forces. At the same time, learning is limited by unclear goals, insufficient resources, and complicated lesson-learned systems. The results show that organizational learning requires a holistic perspective where several factors interact.
