Royal Army Ordnance Corps

Summary

  • The Royal Army Ordnance Corps (RAOC) was a British Army corps formed in 1918 by the merger of the Army Ordnance Department (AOD) and the Army Ordnance Corps (AOC). It dealt with the supply and maintenance of weaponry and munitions only until 1965, when it took over most other supply functions, as well as the supply of staff clerks, from the Royal Army Service Corps.
