The Regiment is split into Six squadrons:
- 523 Headquarters Squadron, Hull
- 160 Transport Squadron, Lincoln
- 216 Transport Squadron, Tynemouth and Hartlepool
- 217 Transport Squadron, Leeds and Bradford
- 218 Tanker Squadron, Hull
- 219 Transport Squadron, Doncaster
The Headquarters Squadron consists of all the elements required to support the five Task Squadrons. This includes: communications, catering support, the Regimental Band, Human Resources and physical training specialists.
The Regiment is paired with and works alongside its Regular counterpart, 7 Regiment RLC.
As part of 102 Operational Sustainment Brigade, 150 Regiment’s mission is to train its personnel to provide logistic support to Regular RLC Units on operations and tasks in the UK and overseas. Specialising in transport, the Regiment moves large quantities of goods over long distances, ensuring the Army has what it needs to complete its mission. Most recently our transport sub-Units in Hull has been re-rolled as a Fuel Tanker Squadron.
After completing basic military training, the Regiment's Reservists carry out specialist training for their role. A Driver will obtain their civilian Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) licences before training on military vehicles.
Throughout the year, the Regiment undertakes high-quality specific training over several weekends and drill nights (most commonly a Wednesday evening). These training nights culminate in an annual training period, during which skills developed throughout the year are refreshed and tested.
In addition to this, personnel have the opportunity to conduct specific training to expand their ever-growing skillset. For example, having been selected for promotion, an individual would be required to enrol on a course that aims to develop leadership skills - proficiency would be tested in the classroom and whilst developed on exercise. In addition, there are also opportunities to gain instructional qualification in military skills such as drill and weapon handling but also adventurous training opportunities like becoming a mountain bike or skiing instructor.
The Regiment has a very diverse workforce and our soldiers come from a wide-range of backgrounds and civilian employment sectors. Trained as soldiers first, they move on to develop a wide range of trade-specific skills, many of which are recognised and transferable into the civilian workplace.
The Regiment recruits from the following RLC trades:
- Driver
- Driver Communications Specialist
- Chef
- Combat Human Resources Specialist
We also employ Officers who train at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst (RMAS), Combat Medical Technicians, Musicians and Human Resource Specialists.
Many members of the Regiment find that the skills they learn in the Army Reserve also enhance their civilian employment.
Corporal Jenny Whytock
I chose the role of Driver as it offers a unique contrast to my everyday life as an Assistant Headteacher. On drill nights and weekend training, I drive a variety of vehicles on and off-road, gaining skills I never imagined.
Serving as a part-time soldier has been incredibly rewarding. I’ve trained across the UK, Northern Ireland, and Cyprus and was selected for the Army Reserve Women’s Football Team. Joining the Reserves has been one of my best decisions.
I first joined the Army through the University Officers' Training Corps and, seeing the opportunities available, transferred to the RLC after graduation. I look forward to gaining driving and leadership qualifications that will support my civilian career as a Forest Manager. Employers highly value the personal skills developed in the Reserves, and I am proud to have completed my first stage of training as a Private.
Sporting Opportunities
Being fit is an essential part of being an effective soldier and Adventurous Training and sports play an enormous role in this. Mountain biking along Cypriot cliffs and rock climbing in the mountains represent some of the ways our soldiers have been challenged through Adventurous Training.
There are regular opportunities to take part in a diverse range of sports both in and out of the Regiment, competing at local and up to national levels. Our soldiers have represented the Army at football, skydived as part of the RLC Silver Stars team and led the Regiment to the top in the Reserve Clay Pigeon Shooting Championships.
Not only do our soldiers get paid to play their chosen sports to a very high level, they have the opportunity to play in high-profile venues; from Cricket at Lord’s to Rugby League at Wembley.
