Early Times Report
Udhampur, Dec 8: Army Service Corps (ASC) celebrated its 254th Corps Day at HQ Northern Command today. While the history of supply and transport services is as old as the history of organized warfare itself, it was in the year 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. However, on 8th of Dec 1950, the word 'Royal' was dropped and ever since the Corps celebrates it's raising on this Day.
The Army Service Corps which is mainly responsible for the provisioning, procurement and distribution of Supplies, Petroleum Products, Hygiene Chemicals and items of Hospital Comforts to the Army and the Air Force and to the Navy and other paramilitary forces as and when required.
The spirit of ASC is reflected in their motto of "Seva Asmakam Dharam" or "Service is our Creed" and the corps has a record of outstanding contribution in all operations and has proved its mettle both in war and peace.
Lt Gen DS Hooda, General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, (Army Commander) Northern Command complimented all ranks of the Army Service Corps for their dedication, high degree of professionalism and flexibility in performing their duties in difficult and inhospitable terrain conditions in the Northern theatre. |
