The Royal Canadian Logistics Service (RCLS, Template:Lang-fr) is a personnel branch of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF).

In April 1997, the CF Armed Forces Council decided to incorporate the Personnel Administration Branch into the Logistics branch.

From 1968 to 2018 the organization was named the Logistics Branch. On October 16, 2018, on the occasion on its 50th anniversary, the Logistics Branch received its "Royal" designation from Queen Elizabeth II becoming the Royal Canadian Logistics Service.[1]

Unification

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

Training

Canadian Forces Logistics Training Centre

Canadian Forces Logistics Training Centre (CFLTC) (formerly known as Canadian Forces School of Administration and Logistics or CFSAL) has an establishment of 181 military and 14 civilian personnel and is organized into a headquarters and three divisions:[2]

  • A Division comprising Supply, Music and Explosives Training Cadres;
  • B Division comprising Resource Management Support, Food Services, Transportation and Traffic Training Cadres; and
  • C Division, which oversees Officer and Advanced Training.

Each year, CFLTC trains approximately 3,000 military members (both Regular Force and Reserve Force) and civilians. CFLTC provides entry-level training to logistics officers from all three environments. In addition CFLTC trains the following suboccupations for logistics officers: Supply Chain Management, Financial Management, Human Resources Management, Fleet Management and Food Services.

CFLTC trains the following occupations for non-commissioned members: Human Resources Administrator, Financial Service Administrator, Cook, Supply Technician, Ammunition Technician, Traffic Technician, Mobile Support Equipment Operator, and Musician.
