A "quartermaster" is a person in the army or navy whose job is to organize and hand out supplies - things like food, clothes, and equipment for the other soldiers or sailors. On a ship, "quartermaster" can also mean someone who helps steer the ship and handle navigation. It's mostly a military word, not something people use in everyday conversation, but you'll meet it in war movies, history books, or navy stories.
