    Hello Macy,


    In a nutshell, The Royal Logistic Corps enable the Army to operate by providing logistic support. The support we provide is really varied, from tanks and ammunition to letters and food, we fight logistics through with the Ethos of Supply: "the right amount of the right kit to the right people in the right place at the right time in the right condition". Combat Logistic support is essential to the success of any operation: without ammunition or rations the Army has no ability to fight, and without stores and equipment the Army has no military capability to fight with.


    Hopefully somebody from the Engineers will come along and add more: but the Engineers provide capabilities like infrastructure with their engineering expertise and creating or denying routes by clearing minefields or destroying bridges.
