Indian Army Service Corps
Indian Army Service Corps is a corps and an arm of the Indian Army, which handles its logistic support function. While the history of supply and transport services is as old as the history of organized warfare itself it was in 1760 that the very rudimentary supply and transport organizations of the three presidencies of the East India Company were brought under the council of a single authority. The corps celebrated 251 years of its raising on 8 December 2011.〔http://www.greaterkashmir.com/news/2011/Dec/9/asc-celebrates-251st-corps-day-52.asp〕
==History==
The origin of the corps go back to 1760 when a Commissariat used to exist in the administrative component of the armies three Presidencies of Bengal, Madras and Bombay. In 1878 the separate Commissariats were amalgamated into a single entity and then in 1901 it was renamed as the Supply and Transport Corps. During the First World War the corps became a permanent component of the British Indian Army and was renamed as the Indian Army Service Corps in 1923. In 1935 the corps was allowed to use the prefix 'Royal' and was known as Royal Indian Army Service Corps.
After India gained independence in 1947, the corps underwent further expansion and by 1948 Indian Catering Corps and Indian Army Corps of Clerks were amalgamated into the corps. The Food Testing Laboratories were also placed under the control of RIASC. On December 8, 1950 after India became a republic the corps dropped the use of the prefix 'Royal' and was hence renamed as 'Army Service Corps' and since that day the corps has celebrated its Raising Day on December 8. On December 8, 1967 the first colours of the ASC were presented by President Zakir Hussain.〔http://www.telegraphindia.com/1031209/asp/jamshedpur/story_2658818.asp〕
