		The RLC is the youngest Corps in the Army and was formed in April 1993, as a result of the recommendations of The Logistic Support Review.
		The RLC results from the amalgamation of The Royal Corps of Transport (RCT), The Royal Army Ordnance Corps (RAOC), The Army Catering Corps (ACC), The Royal Pioneer Corps (RPC) and elements of The Royal Engineers (RE).

		Officers and soldiers of The Royal Logistic Corps are trained in a multitude of logistic skills, which they put into practice each and every day in support of The British Army at home and abroad.
		Although soldiers of The Royal Logistic Corps are trained in a primary specialist role, they are soldiers first and specialists second, because success on the battlefield relies on our soldiers carrying out their trade, no matter how hostile conditions become.

	H407: Egypt and Sudan documents
		It was very cold at night, with the wind and the cold came sandstorms and occasional dustwhirls; life was gritty, and the Mochuana came to know that even veldcraft and direction finding from the stars at night were useless on a dark night at Qasassin with nothing but stinging dust in sight.
		Each Bechuana company as it arrived in the Middle East went to the Pioneer Corps Depot and each in turn spent a month there, sometimes longer, equipping and training until it was called out to service.
		The sky would be alive with the bright flash of bursting Ack-ack shells and silver puffs of smoke; red streaks of Bofors tracer would spring from the ports; there would be great thuds and flashes of bombs hitting the earth or sea, and sometimes the bigger blinding flash of a plane gone cataclysmically to earth.

		I think a pioneer was a type of what would now be called an engineer.
		Pioneer corps used to be the first ones into an area in advance of a main body of the army--in to clear brush, build roads, etc. Their emblems usually depict axes, shovels or picks, the usual tools of their trade (at that time).
		The Pioneers, at least at Fort Henry, always seemed set apart from the rest of the troops by long, full beards.

	I couldn't paint golden angels - Chapter IV
		The Pioneers did not have the military 'cream' of the Irish like the Irish Fusiliers but Colonel Greenwood was a curious choice as commanding officer for a unit which had something like thirty per cent Irish and fifty per cent Liverpool or Glasgow Irish.
		It was these attitudes that caused the exodus from county regiments to the Pioneer Corps, and embittered regular officers like Colonel Greenwood were given a ragbag assortment of officers who had been Army bandsmen, civilian policemen or talented refugees from various countries, all commissioned to meet a need.
		In the main the people prepared to 'skive' and not go on the double were in the Pioneer Corps already, or did not mind being transferred to it on release, whereas the others were under psychological pressure to show they were good soldiers.
