Kosovo a Coastal Ranger platoon relieved the Swedish Parachute Rangers. A substantial part of the unit deployed to Chad under EUFOR command in 2008. The Coastal Rangers have served on several rotations in Afghanistan, predominantly as Mobile Observation Teams, or as mentors embedded with the Afghan National Army. In 2015, personnel from the unit deployed to Mali as a part of the SWE ISR TF with the Army's 32nd Intelligence Battalion (ISTAR). In 2022 the unit was part of the Swedish contribution to the UN-MINUSMA mission in Mali. Snipers from the unit have also participated in EUNAVFOR off the coast of Somalia. Traditions Insignia Green beret The commando green beret is a common headdress of the Swedish Amphibious Corps modelled on the Royal Marine Commandos' headdress, as the British commandos were a major influence on the formation of Coastal Rangers. Until 1994, the green beret was exclusive to the Coastal Rangers and was awarded for successfully completing Operation Neptune along with the trident cap badge. But as the rest of the amphibious battalion too were allowed to wear the beret (without trident), the Rangers exchanged the cap badge for the uniform patch as their unit insignia. (Originally, members of the Marine infantry battalion as well as the Coastal Rangers had to complete Exercise Amfibie to qualify for wearing the green beret without trident, but nowadays it is worn by any personnel attached to the amphibious battalion who has compleated Exercise Thorleif.) Neptune Trident The unit's insignia () is the "golden trident". Originally it was worn as cap badge on the beret, but in 1994 Coastal Rangers officially exchanged their cap badge for a patch worn on the M/90 field uniform and the M/87 dress uniform as unit insignia, however the class of 1994 still managed by their own initiative to receive it as a cap badge instead, thus becoming the last class to receive it as such. As a result, the class of 1994 became the only Coastal Ranger in history to both wear the trident in their berets and as a patch on their uniforms simultaneously. As the golden trident is awarded for successfully passing the Coastal Ranger course, it may be worn also by personnel from other units who passed the course, whereas the uniform badge is worn exclusively by members of the Coastal Rangers.
