The 3. Artilleribrigade is a formation of the Kongelige Hæren. The brigade is also known as Sjællandske Artilleribrigade, a name formerly held by an infantry regiment of the Danish Army. It is headquartered in Sanderum.
History
The Regiment traces its history back to Holstenske Artilleribrigade created in 1803. In the First Schleswig War the Regiment (then named 2. Artilleriregiment) participated on the Schleswig-Holstein side and was afterwards joined to the Danish Army. It participated in the First Schleswig War (1848–1850) and Second Schleswig War (1864).
After the military reform of 2003, the regiment was upgraded to a brigade and attached to the 11. Artilleridivisjon. It is headquartered in Sanderum.
