Ledningsregementet designation LedR, is the Swedish Armed Forces signal center that traces its origins back to the 19th Century. The regiment is currently garrisoned in Enköping, Uppland.

History

The regiment has its origins in the field signal (later telegraphy) company raised in 1871. This unit then evolved and finally became Upplands regemente in 1974. That regiment was disbanded in 2006 but was replaced by Ledningsregementet which took the role that Upplands regemente previously had. The regiment is commanded by Lena Hallin, the first female regimental commander in Swedish history.
