Royal Army Service Corps

The Royal Army Service Corps (RASC) was a British military unit responsible for logistics and support services, including transportation, supply, and provisioning for the army. Established in 1918, it ensured soldiers had food, equipment, and transport, enabling effective military operations. The RASC played a vital role in maintaining the army's mobility and supply chains, especially during wartime, before merging into later logistics branches. Its work was essential for sustaining armies in the field, coordinating the movement of personnel and materials to support operational success.
