It is a complex role which demands that soldiers in the Royal Logistic Corps are physically and mentally fit and highly trained in a diversity of skills.

Whilst soldiers of the Royal Logistic Corps are trained in a primary specialist role, they are soldiers first and specialists second, because success on the battlefield relies on our soldiers carrying out their trade, no matter how hostile the conditions become. 

In order to meet this challenge Royal Logistic Corps soldiers are provided with a wide range of employment specialisation and training.

The Regiment is grouped into 5 main areas.
