In order to gain entry into the General Staff Corps, first priority was to be top of the class at the then Royal Swedish Army Staff College and after that, 2.5 years of employment as a general staff officer candidate in positions at different departments within the staff. Only after successful officer candidate service with approved credentials, the person concerned was able to assume the prestigious general staff insignia, which consisted of a pair of crossed batons.[3]
The officers in the Swedish Army, which were considered to be exceptionally good, were placed in the General Staff Corps.[4] The administrative corps' of the Swedish Armed Forces were abolished by the end of January 1990, and then also the General Staff Corps.[5]
