The Master-General of the Ordnance (MGO) was a very senior British military position from 1415 to 2013 (except 1855–1895 and 1939–1958) with some changes to the name, usually held by a serving general. The Master-General of the Ordnance was responsible for all British artillery, engineers, fortifications, military supplies, transport, field hospitals and much else, and was not subordinate to the commander-in chief of the British military. In March 2013 the holder was titled as "Director Land Capability and Transformation", but still sat on the Army Board as Master-General of the Ordnance; in September 2013 the post was eliminated.

  • Le Master-General of the Ordnance (MGO ; en français, Maître général de l'équipement) était l'un des plus hauts grades de l'armée britannique, poste occupé le plus souvent par un général britannique en service. Il était responsable de l'artillerie, du génie militaire, des fortifications, de l'approvisionnement militaire, du transport, des hôpitaux sur les champs de bataille et d'autres choses, sans toutefois être subordonné au Commander-in-Chief of the Forces de l'armée britannique. Entre 1855 et 1904, le poste est volontairement laissé vacant. Ensuite rétabli, le poste est officiellement aboli en septembre 2013. (fr)
