The Chief of Defence Logistics was a senior post in the British armed forces.
CDL, as it is abbreviated, was responsible for all of the organisation and running of the logistical support to all three branches of the armed forces, the Royal Navy, the Army, and Royal Air Force.
[1] The command could be held by a four-star officer: Admiral, General, or Air Chief Marshal appointed from the three services.
In fact, however, no officer from the Royal Navy held this position.
The post was subsumed into Defence Equipment and Support on 1 April 2007.
