Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden looked laser-focused as she took part in an army training exercise on Wednesday.

Victoria, 44, wore a regulation uniform in Salenfjallen to meet the Swedish Home Guard and take part in their exercise this morning, Daily Mail reported. 

The mother-of-two learned to handle the squad's weapons and followed the soldiers' lead during a training exercise she took very seriously.

She also took the time to give the Guard's German Shepherd some well-deserved cuddles.

The royal, who is first in line for Sweden's throne, listened carefully to the members of the Guards who talked her through the key points of the exercise.

A guard showed her how to handle one of their rifles and other weapons ahead of the training. 

Victoria, who is no strangers to military exercises, having attended several throughout her life as a royal, expertly took aim, before handing back the weapons.

She then took part in the mock manoeuvre and followed the lead of the guards around her, crouching and signalling like a pro.

After the exercise was over, the royal, who seemed in great spirits, took the time to pet the German Shepherd who guided her squad during the manoeuvre.
