The corps is also responsible for the maintenance and repair of military vehicles and equipment, delivering medical services, emergency care and providing administrative support.
[1] By fulfilling these critical functions, the Royal Logistics Corps enables the Malaysian Army to maintain its effectiveness and readiness for various operations and missions.
At the initial stage, only transportation assistance was provided by this element exclusively, while for the supply and catering aspects it was obtained from local contractors.
[3] After the Second World War, the Armed Forces led by the British were reorganized, this was due to the growing threat of communist terrorists during the first Emergency Period.
In the same year, the Federation Regiment was established which aimed to enable non-Malay citizens of Malaya at that time to serve in the Armed Forces.
At the beginning of its establishment, the Service Corps was greatly influenced by elements from the British RASC which had an impact on the operational aspects as well as the administration of the force.
In April 1957 the Army Service Corps (ASC) was established by uniting the FTU, Malay Regiment Ordnance Depot and Malayan Other Ranks.
In order to support elements of the Malayan Navy and Air Force that had just been established, the ASC was also instructed to provide logistical assistance to the three service branches.
Until 1961, the S&T Branch had technical and operational control over ASC forces, although this changed with the establishment of HQ FSTS (AFMC) at Batu Kentonmen.
On 7 June 1997, the Service Corps was awarded the title of 'Royal' in conjunction with the 75th Birthday Anniversary of His Majesty SPB Yang di-Pertuan Agong at the Merdeka Stadium.
