Helsinki Air Defence Regiment
- Helsinki Air Defence Regiment
Helsinki Air Defence Regiment ("Helsingin Ilmatorjuntarykmentti", "HelItR") is a part of the Armoured Brigade in Parola. The regiment was before an independent Finnish Army unit located in Hyrylä (in Tuusula municipality, some 30 km from Helsinki). The regiment trained 800 conscripts per year.
In 2005 the Minister of Defence Seppo Kääriäinen announced that the garrison in Hyrylä would be closed as part of a major structural change of the Finnish Defence Forces. This took place on January 1 2007. The operations of the regiment moved to Armoured Brigade at Parola. Closing of the garrison will save the Defence Forces about 5 million euro per year.
