The Swedish Home Guard was founded on May 29th, 1940, as World War II was heating up. Sweden managed to remain neutral, so the Home Guard never participated in battles. Today 20 000 people are still ready to join the ranks by the Command’s decree — and sometimes help out with rescue missions and police work.

From May 26th (12:00 GMT) until May 30th (12:00 GMT), play 3 battles using Swedish vehicles (rank III or higher, with an activity of not less than 70%) to receive the ““Emblem of the National Home Guard Combat School”” decal.

Complete the task in random battles, except for Enduring Confrontation missions and [Assault] mode. Track your progress in the hangar by clicking Nickname → Achievements → Holidays → Swedish Home Guard Day.
