Launched today, the new RLC Strategy outlines The Royal Logistic Corps’ vision, purpose and plan for achieving operational excellence by 2030. By embracing innovation, modernising capabilities, developing our people, and fostering partnerships, The RLC will position itself as the cornerstone of Defence’s ability to succeed in contested, multi-domain environments. With a focus on readiness, integration, and maximising fighting power, The RLC will ensure the British Army’s logistic advantage in future conflicts.

Officers and Soldiers of the Royal Logistic Corps family.
Today marks the launch of your new RLC Strategy. This document aims to set the conditions for us to become match fit, training and preparing our people mentally, physically and administratively for the demands of today and tomorrow’s fight. It provides the handrail for all Corps activity focussed on achieving this vital end state.
Success will be judged on our ability to work as one. In these testing times – where the challenges we face are vast, and the resources at times scarce – progress will only be achieved if we can cohere our efforts and put the weight of the whole organisation behind the nominated Line of Operation Owners. If we do so, we’ll reinforce our reputation as a whole-force Corps of first choice to support the Army’s warfighters – home and aboard.
To do that, this strategy is for all: Regular and Reserve, Serving and Veteran. It is designed to guide our leadership and assure our decision making so that we better align the Corps’ finances and energy to our most valuable and valued outputs. You must hold us to account if we aren’t doing so.
I would be grateful if everyone across the whole Corps Family can take time to read it and understand their role in the plan to make us better able to survive the fight and fight to survive.
