Through a school investigation, the En samordnad militär skolorganisation ("A coordinated military school organization") (SOU 1997:112), which investigated a new military school system, which was carried out by the Swedish government's investigating officer in collaboration with the Swedish Armed Forces and the Swedish Defense College, suggested that Combat School North (Stridsskola Nord, SSN) in Umeå, Combat School Middle (Stridsskola Mitt, SSM) in Kvarn and Combat School South (Stridsskola Syd, SSS) in Skövde would be disbanded as separate schools, and instead be incorporated into a new school. The new school, the Land Warfare Centre (Markstridsskolan, MSS), was suggested to be located in Skövde, and to be made up of a school staff in Skövde and three school parts in Boden, Kvarn and Skövde. The government shared the proposal of the investigation, and thus proposed in its bill 1997/98:1, that the three combat schools should be disbanded and instead be incorporated into the Land Warfare Centre. The combat schools were disbanded on 31 December 1998, and in its place, the Land Warfare Centre was formed on 1 January 1999.
