Lower Norrland Military District
Lower Norrland Military District (, Milo NN), originally II Military District () was a Swedish military district, a command of the Swedish Armed Forces that had operational control over Lower Norrland, for most time of its existence corresponding to the area covered by the counties of Västernorrland, Jämtland and the northern part of Gävleborg. The headquarters of Milo NN were located in Östersund. History. Milo NN was created in 1966 along with five other military districts as part of a reorganisation of the administrative divisions of the Swedish Armed Forces. It can be seen as the successor of  II Military District ("II. militärområdet") created in 1942, but that did not have the same tasks as Milo NN. The military district consisted of the land covered by the above-mentioned counties, and from 1982, also the southern part of Gävleborg County. In 1993, the number of military districts of Sweden was decreased to three, and as a consequence of that, Milo NN was merged with the Upper Norrland Military District (Milo ÖN) to create a new military district, the Northern Military District (Milo N).
