Swedish military districts and military command locations in 1989

In Sweden, a military district was a military subdivision and part of Sweden's military-territorial division. The military districts were established in 1833 and were, after several reorganizations (1847, 1867 and 1889), replaced by army divisions in 1893. In 1942, the military districts (Swedish: Militärområde, Milo) were established as multi-service commands of the Swedish Armed Forces. The military districts in the modern form were created in 1966, and each was named after the geographical area it covered. Several changes were made, such as creating or merging districts, until all military districts were disbanded in 2000 and replaced by another military district (Swedish: Militärdistrikt, MD) organization, which was active until 31 December 2005.
