The Middle Military Region (MR M) is a wartime unit and an organizational entity where the Commander and Staff are located in Kungsängen.

The Commander of the Middle Military Region, with a regional staff, leads subordinate units, collaborates with regional and local actors, leads security and intelligence services, and supports operational and tactical commanders solving tasks within the region. The region also acts as a link between the Swedish Armed Forces and civil society, having active cooperation with the County Administrative Board and the Region. If necessary, MR M also leads operations, for example, in national crisis situations and support to society. The Military Region performs tasks in peace, crisis, and war.

The organization and operational area of the Middle Military Region cover the geographical counties of Stockholm, Uppsala, Södermanland, Västmanland, Dalarna, and Gävleborg. Training groups and the Home Guard are present in each county.
