From 1 January 1974, there were pharmaceutical expertise on the board which was directly subordinate to the Surgeon-General of the Swedish Armed Forces, when the same SFS 1973:953 instruction for military pharmacies expired.

Large parts of the operations were transferred on 1 July of that year to the newly formed Medical Center of the Swedish Armed Forces (Försvarets sjukvårdscentrum, FSC) in Hammarö, Karlstad.

The fact that Gothenburg was proposed as a new location was also partly due to an inquiry (SOU 1992:101) on the Command and Government Organization for the Swedish Armed Forces (LEMO).

Among other things, the argument put forward by the inquiry in 1992 that the operations could be conducted in all the three localities in question, ie Gothenburg, Solna and Karlstad.

[8] From 1 September 2005, the Swedish Armed Forces Medical Center (Försvarsmaktens sjukvårdscentrum) began operating in Gothenburg.

[9] On 1 January 2013, four military regions were formed, in which the Western Military Region was subordinate to the commander of the Skaraborg Regiment, but reported to the Chief of Joint Operations in the Swedish Armed Forces Headquarters regarding territorial command in peace, crisis and war.

In addition, the staff of the Western Military Region was directly assigned to the Chief of Joint Operations in the Swedish Armed Forces Headquarters in command issues.

[10] In the Swedish Armed Forces' budget for the 2020 government, it was proposed that the four military regional staffs should be set up as their own organizational units from 1 January 2020.

[12] For the Swedish Armed Forces Centre for Defence Medicine, this change meant that the Elfsborg Group was transferred to the Western Military Region from 1 January 2020.

[9] The Swedish Armed Forces Centre for Defence Medicine manages two training areas in the Gothenburg region.

On 5 September 2019, the commander of the Naval Base, Commander Håkan Nilsson handed over the management responsibility for two training areas and the garrison responsibility for the Gullmars Base (Gullmarsbasen) to the head of the Swedish Armed Forces Centre for Defence Medicine, Colonel Peter Fredriksson.

[19] The units colour comes in the form of a double swallow-tailed Swedish flag which was presented to FSC in Hammarö by the Supreme Commander, General Johan Hederstedt on 6 June 2002.
