Royal Swedish Army Materiel Administration

The Royal Swedish Army Material Administration[1] (Swedish: Kungliga Arméförvaltningen, KAF) was a Swedish central government agency that replaced the War College in 1865.

As early as 1 January 1944, the next major change occurred in the Army Materiel Administration, when the fortification board and the medical board became independent government agencies (as Fortification Administration (Arméns fortifikationsförvaltning)[3] and the Medical Services Administration of the Swedish Armed Forces[4]).

After this the Army Materiel Administration consisted of an ordnance department, a civilian bureau and supply department; the latter consisting of central, industrial (suspended in 1945), maintenance, motor fuel, barracks investigation (suspended in 1952) and the equine and veterinary stock bureaus-- as well as the inventory control office.

[2] The Army Materiel Administration was disbanded on 1 July 1954.

Its duties were taken over by the Royal Swedish Army Supply Administration and the Royal Swedish Army Ordnance Administration.
