December 17, 2019: The Vice-Chancellor of the Swedish Defense Force, Fleet Admiral Ewa Skoog Haslum has been appointed new Marine Chief. She will be leaving her position as Vice-Principal at the Swedish Defense College on 1 February 2020.

Skoog Haslum was previously a commander of Sweden's 4th Naval Warfare Flotilla, where she was Western Europe's ears and eyes in the cat and mouse contest with Vladimir Putin.
