Exercise STEADFAST DEFENDER 24
Soldiers from 94 Supply Squadron, the Queen’s Own Gurkha Logistic Regiment (QOGLR) and Zulu Troop 21 Squadron 9 Regiment Royal Logistic Corps, have ensured that British troops have had a constant supply of food, fuel, ammunition and parts, essential for the UK’s contribution to Exercise Steadfast Defender 24.
94 Supply Squadron QOGLR is made up of 60 Logistic Supply Specialists who are masters at acquisition, tracking and distribution.
Based in Barker Barracks, Germany for the duration of the exercise, the Squadron makes sure every piece of equipment and all incoming supplies are officially received and receipted.
Everything from bottles of water and ammunition to ration packs and vehicle parts arrive at their base in large ISO containers.
Everything is unpacked, booked onto the military tracking system, and assigned a military stock number that will be used to carry it through the supply chain. The products must then be repacked to meet the requests received by the forward units.
