Photos of Victoria's first day:
First day for Victoria as a SOFU cadet at the special appointments training which lasts several years. During the autumn she takes a basic course in theoretical naval tactics, and an introduction to war science, both for 7.5 university credits.
Victoria also has to study air defense and ground combat before the training is over.
- You have to choose, because you can only read a basic tactical course to begin with because they run parallel, says Major General Peder Ohlsson, Chief of the King's Military Staff.
In the autumn, she will also take a basic course in military strategy worth 7.5 university credits.
Victoria's normal week at Campus Karlberg begins at 9:00 in the morning with a lecture in the auditorium, then lunch, and further lectures. Monday to Thursday is mainly lectures and own studies before Friday's seminar groups, where Victoria must discuss the week's lectures with other cadets and hand in written assignments.
- During the autumn, a leadership exercise will be carried out, among other things, at the headquarters of the Armed Forces as well as at the tactical staffs. The plan is for the Crown Princess to participate in this exercise. The goal is to be able to apply what you have studied theoretically, simply to be able to put theory into practice during the exercise this autumn, says Peder Ohlsson.

Margareta Thorgren says Victoria has attended several training courses within the Armed Forces in the past and the aim now is to deepen her knowledge. She is very much looking forward to this. Due to the unrest and war that exists both in our immediate area and in the world, these are very important questions.

On the occasion of the start of the course, the Crown Princess makes the following statement:
"With great anticipation, I continue my military education at the Defence University today. Together with the other cadets, I will, among other things, immerse myself in tactics, military science and military strategy.
My ambition is now to put all my energy into officer training in order to be able to represent Sweden and the Armed Forces in the best possible way in the future.
I look forward to an interesting and rewarding study time together with my new coursemates!"
