Editing Inspector general (section)

==Sweden==
In the [[Swedish Armed Forces]] the inspector general (''generalinspektör'' or ''truppslagsinspektör'') was the highest official for a [[military branch]] or [[combat arm]]. The first arm to have an inspector general was the artillery where the [[Master-General of the Ordnance (Sweden)|Master-General of the Ordnance]] had this function since 1634. Inspector general of the cavalry and inspector general of the service troops was founded in the 19th century. The infantry did not get an inspector general until 1914. The engineer troops and signal troops followed in 1937 and a [[Surgeon-General of the Swedish Armed Forces|surgeon general]] in 1941. In 1941 the commander of the [[Swedish Coastal Artillery|coastal artillery]] was also renamed inspector general of the coastal artillery.

In 1998 the previous inspectors general were abolished and the commanders of the major branches ([[Swedish Army|army]], [[Swedish Air Force|air force]] and [[Swedish Navy|navy]]) was renamed "inspector general", renamed again to "branch inspector" in 2003 to resume the title commander in 2014.
