In connection with the OLLI reform, which was carried out within the Swedish Armed Forces between 1973 and 1975, the Boden Artillery Regiment (A 8) was amalgamated with Boden Defence District ("Bodens försvarsområde", Fo 63) and formed on 1 July 1975 the "försvarsområdesregemente" ("defence district regiment") A 8/Fo 63.
