In 1841 Västerbottens Fieldjaegerregiment
was split into two corps. One of these became Norrbottens Fieldjaegerregiment.
In 1892 this corps grew into Norrbottens regiment. The
regiment was located in Boden. In 1910 the regiment got a fourth batallion
that in 1917 was reorganized into an oversnow unit with skis. This batallion
was located in Kiruna 1943. In 1945 the batallion was detached from the regiment
and formed the armys rangerschool. In 1994 I 19 absorbed P 5 and changed into MekB 19 in 1994. In 2000 the
regiments designation was changed back to I 19 but it will continue to train
tanks and CV 90 units for the new brigades.
The regiments colors are blue and white
(silver).
