After World War II, Sweden considered building nuclear weapons to deter a Soviet invasion. From 1945 to 1972 the Swedish government ran a clandestine nuclear weapons program under the guise of civilian defense research at the Swedish National Defence Research Institute. By the late 1950s the work had reached the point where underground testing was feasible. However, at this time the Riksdag prohibited research and development of nuclear weapons, pledging that research should be done only for the purpose of defense against nuclear attack. They reserved the right to continue development of nuclear weapons in the future. The option to continue development of weapons was abandoned in 1966, and Sweden's subsequent signing of the Non-Proliferation Treaty in 1968 began the wind-down of the program, which finally concluded in 1972.
During the Cold War, the wartime mass conscription system was kept in place to act as a deterrent to the Soviet Union, seen as the greatest military threat to Sweden. The end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union meant that the perceived threat lessened and the armed forces were downsized, with conscription taking in less and less recruits until it was deactivated in 2010 (and then reactivated in 2017).

1982 Pattern Webbing Equipment
Olive Green
1982 Pattern Web Equipment was the last major type of web equipment to be issued to the Canadian Army in the 20th Century, and with the advent of the Tactical Vest in the 21st Century, may possibly be the last type of web equipment ever issued to Canadian soldiers.
History
The stated intent of the 1982 Pattern Web Equipment gear was to provide a more flexible and effective system of equipment in response to requests from troops in the field. The new gear was developed using lighter and more durable water repellent fabrics, along with nylon buckles, couplings and quick release features, and was evaluated in extensive user trials.
The 1982 Pattern Webbing, as it was also known, incorporated the design principles of NATO STANAG 2311, and meant to be used in full or partial sets as Fighting Order, Battle Order, or Marching Order. The gear was a modular system, with Fighting Order used as a basic building block (not unlike earlier sets of web equipment) to which the system could be tailored to meet specific mission requirements. To meet this end, the manual also indicates that a "mission analysis of all known users of personal webbing" was conducted, to determine which components would be essential for these missions, and determined the initial issue of these components.
