__NOTOC__
The Deputy Chief of Ordnance{{harvnb|Gullberg|1977|p=247}} ({{langx|sv|Fälttygmästare}}) was the head of the Swedish Army's ordnance establishments in Sweden. During the 1800s and 1900s, his duties changed several times. The position was abolished in 1968.
History
The Master-General of the Ordnance was chief of the Swedish Artillery. The cases he was to decide were processed in two offices: the Office of the Master-General of the Ordnance (Generalfälttygmästareämbetets expedition) and the Office of the Chief of Artillery (Chefens för artilleriet expedition). In the former office, which was headed by the Deputy Chief of Ordnance, all cases concerning materiel were processed; in the latter, which was headed by the chief of the Artillery Staff, all cases concerning artillery personnel and the scientific training of the artillery branch were processed. The Master-General of the Ordnance was also head of the Royal Swedish Army Materiel Administration's Artillery Department, and all military matters of the Deputy Chief of Ordnance were presented before him in that capacity, as the head of the Military Office (Militärbyrån).{{harvnb|Olsson|Rosén|Westrin|1882|p=1014}}{{cite book |url=https://weburn.kb.se/sou/211/urn-nbn-se-kb-digark-2108612.pdf |title=Betänkande och förslag rörande den centrala försvarsförvaltningen |series=Statens offentliga utredningar, 0375-250X ; 1927:29 |year=1927 |location=Stockholm |language=sv |id={{SELIBR|13537882}} |page=24}} The Deputy Chief of Ordnance was also a military member of the said department. The Deputy Chief of Ordnance later became the head of the Royal Swedish Army Materiel Administration's Artillery Department as well as the artillery factories and ordnance establishments.{{cite web |url=https://www.saob.se/artikel/?seek=F%C3%A4lttygm%C3%A4stare&pz=1#U_F2023_87095 |publisher=Swedish Academy |work=Svenska Akademiens ordbok |title=Fälttygmästare |date=1926 |access-date=20 March 2020 |language=Swedish}} Even later, it was the name of the artillery officer (of the rank of regimental officer), who was the head of the Military Office of the Royal Swedish Army Materiel Administration's Artillery Department, who was responsible to provide arms and ammunition to the army.{{harvnb|Westrin|1908|p=244}}
Later in the 1900s, the Deputy Chief of Ordnance served in the Royal Swedish Army Ordnance Administration and was from 1 July 1957 deputy to the vice chief and from 1 July 1963 deputy to the chief of the authority.Kungl.

The Royal Swedish Army Ordnance Administration's Central Planning, Intelligence Center and Materiel Inspection were all three subordinate to the Deputy Chief of Ordnance.{{harvnb|Östergren|Lindblad|Norberg|1987|p=512}} The Deputy Chief of Ordnance position was abolished in 1968 when the Royal Swedish Army Materiel Administration was disbanded.
