152 (North Irish) Regiment RLC is a Northern Irish reserve British Army regiment of the Royal Logistic Corps. The regiment is paired with the regular unit 9 Regiment RLC.
The regiment was formed in the Royal Corps of Transport (RCT) in 1967 with two transport squadrons. [2] It was redesignated 152 (Ulster) Ambulance Regiment RCT in the 1980s, and transferred into The Royal Logistic Corps (RLC) in 1993 as 152 (Ulster) Ambulance Regiment RLC. [2] In 1999 it acquired a third squadron from 157 Transport Regiment and was put under the administrative control of the Army Medical Services. [2] In 2006 it re-roled as a transport regiment and was transferred back to control of The Royal Logistic Corps, returning an ambulance squadron to 157 Transport Regiment and acquiring a newly raised third transport squadron. [2]
Under Army 2020 the regiment was paired with 9 Regiment RLC under 102nd Logistic Brigade, [3] while the regiment joins 104th Logistic Support Brigade. [4] [5] As part of this plan, the regiment became a specialist 'Fuel Support' regiment in 2015, [5] the only unit of its type in the army.
