The Command and Control Regiment ({{langx|sv|Ledningsregementet}}, LedR), is the Swedish Armed Forces command and control and army electronic warfare unit raised in 2007. Its lineage traces back to the 19th century. The regiment is currently garrisoned in Enköping, Uppland.
History
{{see also|Uppland Regiment (signals)#History}}
The regiment has its origins in the field signal (later telegraphy) company raised in 1871. This unit then evolved and finally became Uppland Regiment in 1974. That regiment was disbanded in 2006 but was replaced by the Command and Control Regiment, which took part the role that the Uppland Regiment previously had. The regiment was commanded by Colonel Lena Hallin, the first female regimental commander in Swedish history, until January 2011. The current regimental commander is Colonel Per Nilsson.
