Thats the swedish "Coastal Rangers" ...Americas counterpart would be SEALs or maybe Rangers?
"Coastal Rangers are the naval equivalent of the Swedish Army?s Airborne Rangers. Coastal Rangers conduct LRRP missions along the Swedish coastline; execute amphibious raids against high value targets; counter attacks by enemy naval SOF units; and acting as shock troops during amphibious assault operations. The Coastal Rangers are an offensive unit unlike the other Swedish units in the national defense. The Swedish archipelago is a very easy target for enemy bases and stuff like that, so the Coastal Rangers is specially trained to "throw the enemy back in the sea". They use Combat boat 90 to make a violent landing at the shore to retake the island from the enemy, the are supported by heavy machineguns, Carl Gustaf Recoilless rifle, anti-tank/anti-material rocket assist 84mm and Mk 19 grenade launcher (fires 5-6 40mm grenades/sec). If they don't use the combat boats they can use Klepper kayaks or helicopters.
They are highly trained close combat soldiers and they are also trained to board ships, raid buildings and perform sabotage against enemy installations. They mainly use the same weapons as all Swedish units. Glock 17 9mm, Ak5 (modified FN FNC), Ak5b (sniper version), Ak5c (with m/203 grenade launcher), Ksp58b 7.62mm (FN MAG), Ksp m/90 5,56mm (FN Minimi), Heavy machine gun 12,7mm (FN version of the Browning M2), Grg m/48 (Carl Gustaf Recoilless rifle, anti-tank/anti-material rocket assist 84mm) and GSP (Sako Mk 19 40mm grenade launcher). The Coastal Rangers are trained at Amf 1 (formerly known as KA 1"
