The announcement of future incorporation into a large Logistic Corps - 1991
After the Gulf War in 1991, the Ministry of Defence decided that these organisations, with their separate functions, should be combined into one, to be called the Royal Logistic Corps. Since its formation in 1993, the Royal Logistic Corps has supported Britain's military commitments in the Former Republic of Yugoslavia (Bosnia and Kosovo), Northern Ireland, Iraq, Cyprus, Falklands Islands, Africa, Afghanistan and wherever the British Army is operating.

On 23 July 1991 the Secretary of State for Defence announced that the Royal Pioneer Corpswould combine with the Royal Corps of Transport,
the Royal Army Ordnance Corps, the ArmyCatering Corps and the Postal and Courier Service of the Royal Engineers to form a
