The National CBRN Defence Centre[2] (Swedish: Totalförsvarets skyddscentrum, SkyddC, lit.'Total Defense Protection Center') is a Swedish military unit with expertise regarding chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear defense used by both the army, marines and the air force. The unit has been existing in different forms since 1953. Totalförsvarets skyddscentrum is localised together with Västerbottensgruppen (UG 61) within Umeå Garrison (also known as Umestan), which is the barracks that previously were used by Västerbotten Regiment.
