The Director General of the Swedish Armed Forces[1] (Swedish: Generaldirektör för Försvarsmakten, GD) is the director general of the Swedish Armed Forces and is the deputy head of the agency. The director general reports directly to the Supreme Commander of the Swedish Armed Forces. The position was established in 2005 to strengthen the financial management of the operations. The Director General of the Swedish Armed Forces is part of the Defence Board (Försvarsmaktsledningen, FML), a group of the Supreme Commander's top commanders.[2] In practice, the Supreme Commander and the director general lead the development of the Swedish Armed Forces together.[3]
