Värmlands regemente (Värmland Regiment), designations I 22, I 2 and I 2/Fo 52, was a Swedish Army infantry regiment that traced its origins back to the 16th century. It was disbanded in 2000. The regiment's soldiers were originally recruited from the province of Värmland, and it was later garrisoned in there.

History

The regiment has its origins in fänikor (companies) raised in Värmland in the 16th century. These units—along with fänikor from the nearby province of Närke—were organised into Närke-Värmlands regemente, which was split into two new regiments in 1812, one being Värmlands regemente, the other being Närkes regemente. The regiment was given the designation I 22 (22nd Infantry Regiment) in a general order in 1816. The designation was changed to I 2 (2nd Infantry Regiment) in 1939. In 1973, the regiment gained the new designation I 2/Fo 52 as a consequence of a merge with the local defence area Fo 52. Värmlands regemente was garrisoned in Karlstad from 1913 moved to Kristinehamn in 1994 before being disbanded in 2000.
