10 Queen's Own Gurkha Logistic Regiment

10 QOGLR is one of four Gurkha regiments currently serving in The British Army. Raised in Singapore in 1958 as the Gurkha Army Service Corps, it was manned by British Officers and Non-Commissioned Officers (NCO) seconded from the Royal Army Service Corps, one of the forebears of the RLC.

The Regiment is under command of 101 Logistic Brigade and as one of the Brigade's Theatre Logistic Regiments, it provides materiel and stores and transports fuel in support of second line Force Elements within a brigade or divisional deployment.
