    Administrative history

    The Corps was established July 1, 1903 as the Ordnance Store Corps, replacing The Ordnance Stores Department of the Civil Service which was established in Canada in 1871. The Corps was redesignated as the Canadian Ordnance Corps, Dec. 1, 1907 and as The Royal Canadian Ordnance Corps, Nov. 3, 1919. After the transition period following unification of the three separate service branches into The Canadian Armed Forces, the RCOC was disbanded on July 2, 1974 with most of its personnel allocated to the new CAF Logistics Branch.
