Middle Military District (, Milo M) was a Swedish military district, a command of the Swedish Armed Forces that had operational control over Middle Sweden, for most time of its existence corresponding to the area covered by the counties of ÃÂstergötland, Södermanland, Stockholm, Uppsala, Västmanland, ÃÂrebro, Värmland, Kopparberg (now Dalarna County) and Gävleborg. The headquarters of Milo M were located in Strängnäs.
Milo M was created in 1991 when the number of military districts of Sweden was decreased to five, and as a consequence of that, the Eastern Military District (Milo ÃÂ) was merged with Bergslagen Military District (Milo B) to create this new military district. In 1993, the number of military districts of Sweden was decreased to three, and as a consequence of that, the territory of Gävleborg County formerly part of Lower Norrland Military District (Milo NN), was merged into the military district. In 2000, these last three military districts were disbanded and the command for the whole of Sweden was placed at the Swedish Armed Forces Headquarters, in accordance with the Defence Act of 2000.
