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.
10 QOGLR's capabilities are:
- Enhanced Pallet Loading System (EPLS)
- Combat Support Tanker (CST(F))
- 15, 9 and 6-tonne Support Vehicles
- Custodian Account.
The majority of our soldiers are Gurkhas and undergo basic training at the Infantry Training Centre Catterick, before receiving RLC trade training. We have a small contingent of soldiers from the UK. They include RLC Petroleum Operators, REME personnel and AGC (SPS).
Our Gurkha soldiers are recruited in Nepal. Officers are recruited from the UK and the Commonwealth. What trades do we have?
There are also military personnel who look after administration. These include HR Specialists from the Adjutant General's Corps Staff and Personnel Support (SPS) and the Gurkha SPS.
Second Lieutenant Reedman
"Having been commissioned into The Royal Logistic Corps, 10 QOGLR appealed to me because of the exceptional reputation of its soldiers, as well as the busy schedule of the Regiment. In my first year alone I am set to go to four different countries, including a three month language course in Nepal, where I worked with Gurkha ex-servicemen in Nepali, met the British Ambassador, and took part in the infamous ‘Doko Race’. In the UK as a transport Troop Commander, I have found myself working with highly experienced British and Gurkha soldiers, to manage the repair and use of a fleet of vehicles worth hundreds of thousands of pounds. The adage of ‘every day is different’ is certainly true: one day I have been organising an adventurous training trip abroad; the next rehearsing and leading a parade with new Gurkha recruits. Working with Gurkhas has been a rare and fulfilling privilege, and thoroughly enjoyable."
Sporting opportunities
10 QOGLR has a hard fought for reputation for sporting excellence. Football, cross country, volleyball and badminton are just a few of the sports where our soldiers have won a treasure trove of medals.
The Regiment's Operational Shooting team consistently excels. In 2019 all eight members were in the Army top 100 shots and it was champion team at the 101 Brigade, Royal Logistic Corps and 3 (UK) Division Operation Shooting Competitions and was placed fourth in the Army event.
