  • 15 June 2020 [RASC COMPANY ESTABLISHMENT 1944
    15 June 2020 [R.A.S.C. COMPANY ESTABLISHMENT 1944 - 1945] The Royal Army Service Corps The Royal Army Service Corps (R.A.S.C.) was the branch of the British Army responsible for the distribution of supplies to units in the field. Likewise, in the Indian Army, the Royal Indian Army Service Corps (R.I.A.S.C.) performed the same function. Both corps had the additional responsibility of transporting supplies as far as the front line, where individual units took over responsibility. The corps were also responsible for the administration and maintenance of barracks and quarters. The R.A.S.C. and R.I.A.S.C. did not issue or maintain weapons, military equipment, or ammunition as this was the responsibility of the Royal Army Ordnance Corps. However, the R.A.S.C. and R.I.A.S.C. did transport ammunition from Base Ordnance Depots to Forward Ammunition Points. It was also the task of the two corps to transport and distribute Petrol, Oil and Lubricants, often known simply as ‘POL’. Just as important, the R.A.S.C. and R.I.A.S.C. were responsible for supplying the food and water to keep the army personnel and animals fed and watered. The corps provided Field Butchery, Field Bakery and Cattle Conducting Sections. The two corps used vehicles, mules, and aircraft to keep the supplies moving. Railway and shipping transportation were the responsibility of the Royal Engineer Movements and Transportation Branch. In the 1700’s, when the British Army developed into a national army as we know it today, transport was provided by civilian contractors.
