Sweden
In the Swedish Army, dragoons are the Military Police and Military Police Security Forces (MP SÄK). They form the Dragoons Battalion of the Life Guards. The Dragoons Battalion have roots that go back as far as 1536 making it one of the worlds oldest military units still in service. "Livdragon" is the rank of a private cavalryman. The Swedish Army Dragoons are one of few units that still use horses. Horses are being used for ceremonial purposes only, most often when the dragoons take part at the change of the guards at The Royal Castle.
Since 1 July 2010 The Swedish MPs are as the rest of the Swedish armed forces, hired and not conscripts anymore. There are two MP-companies currently operative. The 14. (part-time employed) and 15. (Full-time employed) MP-Komp. The Sweden Democrats have proposed introducing a military police which would be used to support regular police authorities.
