The King's Artillery Regiment (Danish: Kongens Artilleriregiment, KAR) was an artillery regiment of the Royal Danish Army.

History

[edit]

The Kongens Artilleriregiment was formed on 1 August 1982 by merging the Crown's Artillery Regiment (Kronens Artilleriregiment) from Sjælsmark barracks [da] and the Zealand Artillery Regiment (Sjællandske Artilleriregiment) from Holbæk barracks. On 1 November 2005 Kongens Artilleriregiment was merged with the Queen's Artillery Regiment (Dronningens Artilleriregiment) to create the new artillery regiment, Danish Artillery Regiment (Danske Artilleriregiment). The regiment was located on Sjælsmark barracks.
