Thank you Piotr for that Irish link.

The normal Swedish UN Bn had 1 HQ Coy and 3 Rifle Coys. From the beginning they only were armed with 9 mm SMG m/45 "Carl Gustaf".

In 1961 there were also two extra Swedish Coys ex-Gaza in Congo.

The armament had to be increased by
6,5 mm automatic rifles m/42 Ljungman
6,5 mm MGs m/42 Colt-Browning
81 mm mortars m/29-39 Stokes-Brandt
84 mm AT rifle m/48 Carl Gustaf
20 mm AA guns m/40 Bofors

The armoured cars and the aircraft has been discussed earlier.
