Formed in 1971, the Commando Logistics Regiment is the only Amphibious Logistics Regiment available to the United Kingdom’s Armed Forces. The Regiment’s primary task is to provide the essentials of ammunition, water and fuel, commonly known as combat supplies (c-sups), to Commando Forces for the initial 30 days of any deployment on exercise or operations. It is home to about 620 personnel from all three services, including Mechanical Engineers, Medics and Logisticians. The ability of the Commando Logistics Regiment to transfer stores from ship to shore makes it a totally self-sufficient organisation.

The majority of the Commando Logistics Regiment are drawn from the Royal Marines; generally the Royal Navy and the Army only supplies medics and a few other specialists.
