Royal Corps of Transport

Formed from the ranks of the Royal Army Service Corps and the Movement Control Service of the Royal Engineers, the Corps was responsible for all forms of Army transport from pack mule, staff cars, trucks, trains, hovercraft and ships. They also provided Air Despatchers for RAF aircraft and movement staff to control the movement of vehicles, equipment and personnel between theatres on operations and exercises.

The RCT was amalgamated with the Royal Army Ordnance Corps, Royal Pioneer Corps, Army Catering Corps, and the Postal and Courier Service of the Royal Engineers, to form the RLC in 1993.
