The Royal Logistic Corps (RLC) provides logistic support functions to the 英國陸軍. It is the largest 军 (编制单位) in the Army.[1]
History
The Royal Logistic Corps (RLC) was formed on 5 April 1993, by the union of five British Army corps:[2]
- 皇家工兵部队 Postal and Courier Service
- Royal Corps of Transport
- Royal Army Ordnance Corps
- Royal Pioneer Corps
- Army Catering Corps
The RLC comprises both Regular and Army Reserve units.[3]
The RLC is the only combat service support corps of the British Army with battle honours, derived from the usage of previous transport elements of the Royal Waggon Train, and their successors as cavalry. The battle honours are:[4]
Museum
The Royal Logistic Corps Museum was based at Princess Royal Barracks, Deepcut near 坎伯利 in 薩里郡, but was closed prior to a move to Worthy Down near Winchester where it was to reopen in April 2021.[5]
Cap Badge
The RLC cap badge is an amalgamation of the cap badges of the forming corps:[6]
- The laurel and garter band is from the 皇家工兵部队
- The Indian star is from the Royal Corps of Transport
- The shield in the centre is from the Royal Army Ordnance Corps
- The crossed axes are from the Royal Pioneer Corps
- The 座右銘, "We Sustain", is from the Army Catering Corps
The inscription on the garter band "Honi soit qui mal y pense" can be translated as "Evil to him who evil thinks".[1]
