The Central Military Region (Swedish: Mellersta militärregionen, MR M) is a Swedish military region within the Swedish Armed Forces. Established in 2013, the military region staff in based in Kungsängen. The military region includes Dalarna County, Gotland County, Gävleborg County, Stockholm County, Södermanland County, Uppsala County and Västmanland County.

History

The Central Military Region was formed on 1 January 2013 as Military Region Central, as one of four military regions in Sweden. The military region includes Dalarna County, Gotland County, Gävleborg County, Stockholm County, Södermanland County, Uppsala County and Västmanland County.[1] The region's staff is co-located with the Life Guards in Kungsängen with the task of leading surveillance and protection tasks, implementing civil-military cooperation and support to society.[1] The military region was also responsible for leading the production of the training groups and the Home Guard units in East Middle Sweden. The responsibility involves both training personnel for the Home Guard units and leading them in operations. The Central Military Region's Home Guard battalions are eleven in number. On 1 October 2018, a separate command position was appointed for Military Region Central. From 2019, the name Central Military Region was adopted. From 1 January 2020, all military regions are independent units subordinate to the Chief of Home Guard. In doing so, the regions also take over the command in peacetime from the training groups with their Home Guard battalions. Each military region has production management responsibility. This meant that five training groups were transferred to the Central Military Region. In a government's bill, however, the Swedish government emphasized that the military regional division could be adjusted, depending on the outcome of the investigation Ansvar, ledning och samordning inom civilt försvar ("Responsibility, leadership and coordination in civil defense").[1]
