1 History

The Royal Logistic Corps was formed in 1993, by the union of the Royal Corps of Transport , the Royal Army Ordnance Corps , the Royal Pioneer Corps , the Army Catering Corps , and the Postal and Courier Service . There are many volunteer regiments within the Logistic Corps, including transport regiment s, ambulance regiment s, and other related logistic units.

This unit's battle honours were inherited from the Royal Corps of Transport, which inherited its honours from the Royal Army Service Corps . These honours include: Peninsula, Waterloo, Lucknow , and the Opium Wars.

In the 2004 Olympic Games held in Athens, the Royal Logistic Corps held the prestigious honour of having the most athletes from the British Army competing in the Games. These were Private Musa Audu ( Nigeria), Private Seidu Duah ( Ghana), Lance Corporal Josephus Thomas ( Sierra Leone) and Corporal Joselyn Thomas (Sierra Leone). Private Audu achieved success at the Olympics when he was part of 4 x 400m relay final that won the Bronze medal for Nigeria.
