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.

History

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.[5] The regiment also works closely with the Royal Engineers' 516 Specialist Team (Bulk Petroleum).[5]
