Maritime Component Command[2] (Swedish language: Marinens taktiska stab , MTS) is a part of the Operations Command (Insatsledningen) of the Swedish Armed Forces. The staff is located at the Swedish Armed Forces Headquarters in Stockholm and is headed by the Chief of Navy. The Maritime Component Command commands the operations of the Swedish Navy forces.[3]
History[]
The current staff was established in September 1993 under the name of the Naval Tactical Center (Marinens taktiska centrum, MTC)[4] which has its origin in the Naval Staff which was disbanded on 30 June 1994 in connection with the Swedish Armed Forces becoming a single government agency on 1 July 1994. The Naval Staff was partly replaced by the Naval Command (Marinledningen) on 1 July 1994.[5] The Naval Command, which was part of the newly established Swedish Armed Forces Headquarters, was a production unit which sorted directly under the authority of the head of the agency, that is, the Supreme Commander.[6] The Naval Tactical Center was in turn directly subordinate of the military commander of the Middle Military Area (Milo M).
On 1 July 1998, the Naval Tactical Center, along with the Naval Command, was reorganized and formed the Naval Center (Marincentrum, MarinC) and the Chief of Navy Staff position was replaced by the Inspector General of the Navy position on 30 June 1998.[7][8] The navy's highest command was thus localized to Hårsfjärden.[9]
In the Defence Act of 2000, where the four regional Naval Command's (Marinkommando) were disbanded on 30 June 2000, the Naval Center was also disbanded as an independent unit. From 1 July 2000, the Naval Center was amalgamated in the Joint Forces Command (Operativa insatsledningen, OPIL) under the name Naval Tactical Command (Marintaktiska kommandot, MTK).[10][11] In 2003, the Inspector General of the Navy position was changed to Inspector of the Navy. On 1 April 2007, the command was reorganized and received its current name, the Maritime Component Command (Marinens taktiska stab, MTS), and is sorted under the Operations Command (Insatsledningen).
