Explanation:
Is the term "pskkompch" or "psykkompch"?

I assume it is "pskkompch", "psykkompch" looks like a typo to me.

"kompch" (or "kompC") is "kompanichef" (company commander).

"psk" is probably "pansarskytte".

disagree  Michael Ellis: Your reference shows that the Psykiatrisk vårdavdelning has an avdelningschef under the Kompanichef. But see my discussion entry.
