An AJ 37 Viggen being serviced in bakom (rear flight line position) at a wartime air base in Sweden

During peace time the air squadrons were stationed at their respective air wing and deployment to the wartime air bases would only occur when the threat level increased. But many of the air wings also doubled as wartime air bases. The wartime air bases were only manned by a smaller bastropp (base troop) during peace time and the full base battalion would only be manned with a mobilization (except during certain exercises). This was because the majority of the units were made up by conscripts. The base system was therefore never fully active during the time it existed, like the rest of the Swedish Armed Forces during the cold war.

Road runways in the Bas 60 system. Not to be confused with the short runways in the Bas 90 system, which in many cases also were built on public road.

The Bas 60 road runways are not to be confused with the short runways in the Bas 90 system, which in many cases also were built on public road. The Bas 90 short runways belonged to a larger air base and therefore not counted as individual bases, unlike the Bas 60 road runways.
