Royal Logistic Corps (RLC)

Royal Logistic Corps (RLC)

As its name indicates, the RLC is responsible for virtually every logistical requirement of the modern Army

Former WO1(GSM) Peter Padley MBE

The Royal Logistic Corps was formed in 1993 by the amalgamation of officers and soldiers from the Royal Corps of Transport, Royal Army Ordnance Corps, Royal Pioneer Corps, Army Catering Corps and the Royal Engineers Postal and Courier Service.

The RLC is the youngest Corps in the Army, but since its formation in 1993, has been the largest Corps in the Army.
