Quartermaster Corps of the Swedish Armed Forces
Quartermaster Corps of the Swedish Armed Forces (Swedish: Försvarets intendenturkår, Intk) was a joint administrative corps made up of active-duty quartermaster officers from the Swedish Armed Forces. It was established on 1 October 1966 by uniting the Army’s Quartermaster Corps, the Navy’s Quartermaster Corps, and the Air Force’s quartermaster officers.
The corps was led by a chief who, under the Supreme Commander, supervised the whole corps. The chief was the head of the Army’s Quartermaster Corps and the Navy’s Supply Service and, by order of the Supreme Commander, also guided the Air Force quartermasters. The chief reported to the Supreme Commander and was full-time devoted to corps duties, unlike most other administrative corps chiefs (except the chief of the Army Ordnance Corps).
The Swedish Army Quartermaster School was subordinated to the corps chief. The chief’s main role was to represent the corps staff, oversee staff development, and evaluate promotion opportunities. He was usually assisted by leaders of government agencies where staff were placed, to gain practical experience in the staff’s working environment.
On 1 October 1973, the Quartermaster Corps was merged with the Swedish Army Ordnance Corps to form the Commissary Corps of the Swedish Armed Forces.
