The Army Service Corps (ASC) is an administrative corps and an arm of the Indian Army which handles its logistic support. It is the oldest and the largest administrative service in the Indian Army. 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.
