The establishment of the Joint Logistics Support Group Headquarters (JLSG HQ) is planned to be operational by the end of 2027.
This hub will play a crucial role in coordinating the maintenance and transport of military units across NATO’s Northwest Area of Operations, which include Sweden and other Nordic countries.
During peacetime, the Enköping headquarters is expected to staff approximately 70 personnel. However, this number could increase to 160 in times of heightened alert or war.
According to a report of Xinhua, the facility will manage troop movements that could involve up to 20,000 soldiers and handle logistics such as fuel, ammunition, and spare parts distribution across Sweden.
The hub will integrate into the NATO command framework, with personnel assignments managed centrally by NATO.
Member countries will have the option to delegate staff officers to serve at this location, according to a statement from Sweden’s Ministry of Defence.
Sweden Defence Minister Pål Jonson said: “NATO presence in Sweden strengthens our security and deterrence. The logistics centre assists the defence of NATO’s northern flank.”
The Swedish Armed Forces will keep the Ministry of Defence regularly informed on the progress of establishing this new NATO Headquarters.
In June 2025, the Swedish government directed its armed forces to allocate Skr550 ($57m) towards NATO’s assistance initiatives for Ukraine.
