Quartermaster Administration of the Swedish Armed Forces

Quartermaster Administration of the Swedish Armed Forces (, FIV) was a Swedish government agency from 1963 to 1968, for the quartermaster administration of the Swedish Armed Forces. The agency had to meet the Swedish Armed Forces' need for commissariat and veterinary equipment, other commissariat supplies, as well as horses and dogs.

History The agency was established on 1 July 1963 by an amalgamation of the Royal Swedish Army Supply Administration, the Royal Swedish Naval Materiel Administration's Commissariat Department and the Royal Swedish Air Force Materiel Administration's Commissariat Bureau. The Quartermaster Administration consisted of five bureaus, whose chiefs were members of the agency's board. The bureaus were; Materielbyrån ("Supply Bureau"), Livsmedelsbyrån ("Food Bureau"), Drivmedelsbyrån ("Fuel Bureau"), Förrådsbyrån ("Storage Room Bureau") and the Administrativa byrån ("Administrative Bureau"). In addition, there were two independent units: the Centralplaneringen ("Central Planning") and the Normaliesektionen ("Normalie Section").Kungl.
