Regimental History

Twinned with the Scottish Transport Regiment, 7 Regiment The Royal Logistic Corps has a very long and proud history; elements of the Regiment date back to the 1800s, in particular 9 Squadron (formed in 1870) and 16 and 17 Squadrons (formed in 1878), and have served in most major theatres.

Originally based in Sennelager, 7 Regiment The Royal Logistic Corps was formerly known as 7 Transport Regiment, and before that 7 Tank Transporter Regiment The Royal Corps of Transport. On formation of the Royal Logistic Corps in 1993 the Regiment moved to Bielefeld where it remains today - it comprises of 4 Squadrons; 617 Headquarters Squadron, 9 Fuel support Squadron, 16 Tank Transporter Squadron, and 17 Transport Squadron, along with a Light Aid Detachment.

After the Second World War in 1948 the Regiment had under its command a Polish Mixed Service Organisation Squadron made up of Polish Soldiers.  They were disbanded in 1987 yet the Regiment continues to proudly fly the Polish Eagle as its emblem and has a strong affiliation with a Polish Logistic Regiment.
