Claim: The Swedish Army Ordnance Corps was established on July 1, 1937 and consisted of both officers, non-commissioned officers and civilians that served in the Ordnance Department of the Royal Swedish Army Materiel Administration (a Swedish central government agency that replaced the War Collegium in 1865).
Evidence: The corps was established on 1 July 1937 through a merger of the artillery factories and the staff of the Ordnance Depot (Tyganstalten) with Fortifikationen and the Swedish Army Service Troops' ordnance services as well as with the military units' ordnance officers and ordnance non-commissioned officers. This corps thus consisted of both officers, non-commissioned officers and civilians. The Master-General of the Ordnance had been the head of the Artillery Department of the Royal Swedish Army Materiel Administration, whose artillery staff officers and clerks also belonged to the corps. The new administrative corps was named the Swedish Army Ordnance Corps (Fälttygkåren) and with the Master-General of the Ordnance as its head. Royal Swedish Army Material Administration (Swedish: Kungliga Arméförvaltningen, KAF) was a Swedish central government agency that replaced the War Collegium (Krigskollegium) in 1865.
