Continuing a proud tradirion
The Royal Logistic Corps was formed on 5 April 1993 by joining together several existing corps to make the biggest UK Regiment with 16,000 men and women.
Our founding corps have centuries of history and tradition, and we're proud to continue this into the future. Their skills and expertise are essential parts of the RLC:
Royal Corps of Transport - drivers, air dispatchers, port and maritime specialists, movement controllers, railwaymen and radio operators.
Royal Army Ordnance Corps - supply controllers and supply specialists, vehicle specialists, petroleum operators, ammunition technical and explosive ordnance disposal teams.
Royal Pioneer Corps - artisans and defence skilled soldiers.
Army Catering Corps - chefs and catering experts.
Also, the Royal Engineers (RE) supplied our postal and courier personnel, although the rest of the RE continues to function as a major part of the British Army.
