Ok where to start......?
Royal Army Ordnance Corps, Royal Corps of Transport and the Army Catering Corps sadly no longer exist. They were clubbed together in 1993 into the Royal Logistics Corps along with the Royal Pioneer Corps.
Their main task now is to provide logistic support for the Army.
In english they provide everything that allows the army to move, live and fight in a modern war.
Some of their other duties include sorting the army mail (29 Postal Courier and Movement Regiment RLC), EOD work (11 EOD Regiment RLC) and running the Army's only ships and railways (17 Port and Maritime Regiment (includes 79 Railway Squadron RLC).
Currently there are 24 Regts and 7 Ind Sqdrs in the regular army and a extra 17 Regts in the TA.

Royal Army Service Corps was merged into the RCT and ROAC in 1965 (and these were merged in the RLC in 93).
