Aaron A. asked a question to Shaun M.
The Royal Logistic Corps (RLC) primarily focuses on providing logistical support, such as supply chain management, transportation, and distribution of equipment and supplies. However, members of the RLC can find themselves in situations where they may be involved in firefights or come under enemy fire, when deployed in combat zones or hostile environments.
While the primary role of the RLC is not direct combat, they are trained soldiers and receive basic combat training, which includes weapon handling, defensive tactics, and basic infantry skills. This training prepares them for the possibility of encountering hostile actions during their duties. RLC personnel may find themselves involved in firefights when transporting supplies, equipment, or personnel through potentially hostile territory, necessitating defensive actions.
Overall, while the primary mission of the RLC is logistical support, the nature of modern military operations means they must be prepared for and capable of engaging in combat situations when necessary.
