British Army Service Corps

The British Army Service Corps (BASC) was a key support unit in the British Army, established in 1888 and later absorbed into the Royal Logistic Corps in 1993. Its primary role was to provide logistical support, including transport, food supply, and equipment maintenance, ensuring that frontline troops had the necessary resources to operate effectively. The BASC played a crucial role during both World Wars and other military operations, demonstrating the importance of logistics in warfare. Its legacy continues in the modern military structure, highlighting the essential behind-the-scenes work that supports combat operations.
