Förvaltare is a Swedish military rank (OR-8) for specialist officers above Överfanjunkare and below Regementsförvaltare in the army and Flottiljförvaltare in the air force and is translated to sergeant major. The original military meaning of the word 'Förvaltare' was the same as 'conductor', as in a warrant officer conductor of ordnance stores or quartermaster stores.

History

[edit]

Förvaltare became a rank designation in 1945. Prior to that, it had been used as a occupational title, originally within the Swedish Army Quartermaster Corps.[1]

[edit]

For promotion to Förvaltare, 16 years time-in-service, and a minimum of four years time-in-grade as Fanjunkare is required, as well as HSOU (Sergeant Majors Academy).[2] A Förvaltare has the same relative rank as a Major.[3]
