The Swedes provided one cavalry regiment to the Netherlands 1694-98. The Colonel was Kjell Christoffel von Barnekow. It consisted of 6 companies each of 76 men. Raised primarily from excess personnel from the Pommerska kavalleriregementet and the Bremiska Kavalleriregementet.

Initially, 6 infantry regiments were provided. One of which was raised in Sweden, while the others were raised in the German provinces. The Swedish regiment was commanded by Gustav Moritz Graf von Löwenhaupt. It was raised partly through normal recruitment methods and partly from drafts from seven Swedish Indelta (National) regiments, as well as the Tyska Livregemente and Svenska Livregemente.

Hope this is of some help.

Thanks gents for the info.
