Royal Canadian Army Service Corps

Royal Canadian Army Service Corps

The Royal Canadian Army Service Corps (RCASC) was an administrative and transport corps of the Canadian Army. In addition to maintaining transport for the army on land, the R.C.A.S.C. also commanded and maintained a ship-borne freight and patrol company, the Pacific Command Water Transport Company, R.C.A.S.C., during World War Two.

Unification

When the Army, Royal Canadian Navy, and Royal Canadian Air Force were merged in 1968 to form the Canadian Forces, the administrative Corps of the Army were merged with their Naval and Air Force counterparts to form the Canadian Forces' personnel branches.

* The RCASC's transport and supply elements were combined with the Royal Canadian Ordnance Corps to form the Logistics Branch
* The RCASC's clerical trades were merged with the Royal Canadian Army Pay Corps and the Royal Canadian Postal Corps to form the Administration Branch (later merged with the Logistics Branch)
