Royal Indian Army Service Corps

The Royal Indian Army Service Corps (RIASC) was a key logistical component of the British Indian Army, established in 1901. Its primary role was to support military operations by providing crucial services like transporting troops, equipment, and supplies. The corps played an essential part during both World Wars, ensuring that soldiers received necessary resources on the battlefield. After India's independence in 1947, the RIASC was reorganized and became part of the Indian Army, continuing its legacy of logistical support in military operations. Today, it is known as the Army Service Corps (ASC) in India.
