The unit's activities can be divided into supply, transport, support for international operations and functional management.

The Swedish Armed Forces Logistics (FMLOG) was established on 1 January 2002 from the remnants of the Maintenance Regiment (Underhållsregemente) organization.

An important task was to dismantle and reduce the anti invasion defence concept's (invasionsförsvar) extensive materiel and supply stock and adapt to new conditions.

[5] In June 2012, the Riksdag decided that parts of FMLOG would be transferred to the Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) on 1 January 2013.

These included central warehouses and stock, protected transports, dispatch, procurement, technical service and exchange units.

In addition, TVK-Log, a Technology and Maintenance Office, was added, which is the Swedish Armed Forces' expert competence in materiel and supplies as well as operational management of the Lift and Prio systems.

The staff consists predominantly of employees based on civilian qualifications and professions, such as academics and technical specialists.

[8] In 2002, the Försvarsmaktens logistiks (FMLOG) förtjänstmedalj ("Swedish Armed Forces Logistics Medal of Merit") in silver (FMLOGSM) of the 8th size was established.
