The work is varied and is mainly carried out in the Armed Forces' facilities in Muskö and Berga, but also to some extent at other locations in Haninge.

About the Organization

FMTIS has five units that perform operation and maintenance of the Armed Forces' command systems. The Implementation Unit Mid is one of them.
