Can a American citizen serve in any Scandinavian country's Military? What would be required?

Question

Have intentions to relocate to Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland or Iceland.

Answer 1

Good Question, Never thought of It!!

Answer 2

Not sure about the others, but in the Swedish army is still based on general conscription, though it has grown much smaller in later years, so less and less boys actually go there to do their time - they are just not needed any more. Maybe you could apply for work as an officer, if you have the qualifications.  I  doubt that a non-Swedish citizen could do that, though.

Here's a link to the Defense Department's website (English version):
