The Commissariat Department of the Royal Swedish Army Materiel Administration was reconstituted on 1 July 1954 as an independent agency under the name Arméintendenturförvaltningen. After nine years of existence, the authority was on 1 July 1963 amalgamated into the newly formed Quartermaster Administration of the Swedish Armed Forces. The Chief of the Army was also head of the Royal Swedish Army Supply Administration. However, the closest command over the authority was exercised by a vice chief, who had the title of Quartermaster General. The vice chief was from 1954 to 1963 a member of the Administration Board of the Swedish Armed Forces. The authority consisted of seven units from 1954 to 1959: Materielbyrån, Förplägnadsbyrån, Drivmedelsbyrån, Häst- och veterinärmaterielbyrån, Administrativa byrån, Chefsexpeditionen and Förrådskontrollkontoret. The head of the Häst- och veterinärmaterielbyrån was the Inspector of Army Veterinary Service. The head of the Administrativa byrån was referred to as Krigsråd. In 1959, the Chefsexpeditionen was renamed Centralbyrån, whilstHäst- och veterinärmaterielbyrån was amalgamated as Hästsektionen into the Centralbyrån. Also Förrådskontrollkontoret was amalgamated into Centralbyrån. From 1959 to 1963, the units were thus only five: Centralbyrån, Materielbyrån, Förplägnadsbyrån, Drivmedelsbyrån and Administrativa byrån. The heads of the bureaus were members of the authority's board. The authority's activities were regulated by the following instructions:
King in Council's provisional instruction for the Royal Swedish Army Supply Administration, Tjänstemeddelanden rörande lantförsvaret, serie A, 1954:44, with amendments in TLA 1957:53.
King in Council's instruction for the Royal Swedish Army Supply Administration, SFS 1959:9, with amendments in SFS 1959:315 and SFS 1961:473.
