The Swedish Armed Forces' phonetic alphabet was made up of Swedish two-syllable male names with the exception of Z which is just the name of the letter as pronounced in Swedish.

The Swedish Armed Forces are since 2006 instructed to use the NATO alphabet instead of the original Swedish phonetic alphabet, along with and adaption of the NATO voice procedures to communicate, since most activity is in various international UN and NATO missions.
