The Chief of Defence Logistics ({{langx|sv|Försvarslogistikchefen}}, FlogC) is a senior position within the Swedish Armed Forces, responsible for all logistical requirements of the Armed Forces. The post was created in 2005.
History
In 2005, a position of Inspector of Logistics (LogI) was established at the Swedish Armed Forces Headquarters at the same level as the other inspectors. The first inspector was Major General Åke Jansson, who prior to that was commander of the Swedish Armed Forces Logistics (FMLOG). LogI was then responsible for the units Göta Logistic Regiment (T 2), Swedish Armed Forces Logistics (FMLOG), Swedish Armed Forces Technical School (Försvarsmaktens tekniska skola, FMTS), National CBRN Defence Centre (SkyddC) and the Medical Center of the Swedish Armed Forces (FSC).{{cite journal |url=http://ebooks.exakta.se/tiff/tiff_0503/pubData/source/TIFF_3_2005.pdf |journal=Teknisk Information för Försvarsmaterieltjänsten |title=Bästa läsare! |first=Joakim |last=Sellén |number=3 |date=2005 |issn=0347-0601 |page=3 |language=sv}}
At the beginning of 2014, inspectors and military commanders transferred to the Training & Procurement Staff (PROD) from INSATS and the Chief Information Officer (CIO) was transferred to PROD. The Logistics Department (PROD LOG) and the Procurement Department (PROD MTRL) was organized into two departments under a joint Chief of Logistics.{{cite journal |url=http://ebooks.exakta.se/tiff/tiff_1303/pubData/source/TIFF_03_2013_ebook.pdf |journal=Teknisk Information för Försvarsmaterieltjänsten |title=Bästa läsare! |first=Kenneth |last=Raun |number=3 |date=2013 |issn=0347-0601 |page=3 |language=sv}} In 2014, the post changed its name from Chief of Logistics (LogC) to Chief of Defence Logistics (FlogC).{{cite journal |url=https://www.forsvarsmakten.se/siteassets/6-aktuellt/forsvarets-forum/2014/forsvarets-forum-nr5.pdf |journal=Försvarets forum: Personaltidning för fast anställda och reservofficerare i svenska försvarsmakten |title=Ny förkortning |year=2014 |publisher=Försvarets forum |number=3 |location=Stockholm |language=sv |id={{SELIBR|4109339}} |page=5}}{{cite web |url=https://www.forsvarsmakten.se/sv/aktuellt/2013/12/nya-namn-pa-nya-poster/ |publisher=Swedish Armed Forces |title=Nya namn på nya poster |date=20 December 2013 |access-date=19 May 2021 |language=sv}} Prior to 2017, the Chief of Defence Logistics was also head of the materiel side. In 2017, a division took place in such a way that there is a Chief of Defence Logistics and a Chief of Procurement, who has his own connection to the Defence Materiel Administration.{{cite journal |url=http://ebooks.exakta.se/tiff/tiff_1703/pubData/source/TIFF_03_2017_ebook.pdf |journal=Teknisk Information för Försvarsmaterieltjänsten |title=Robust skapar logistiskförtroende |first=Martin |last=Neander |number=3 |date=2017 |issn=0347-0601 |pages=4–5 |language=sv}}
