154 (Scottish) Regiment is a regiment of the British Army's Royal Logistic Corps. It is currently under Army Reserve control.
It was formerly The Scottish Transport Regiment.
154 Regt RLC is the only RLC regiment based in Scotland. Its role is to provide general transport support at 'third line' for the British Army. In addition, it is paired ('twinned') with both 4 Regiment RLC and 27 Regiment RLC, providing trained manpower to support them in conducting current operations around the world. In recent years, it has deployed personnel and formed units to both Op TELIC in Iraq and Op HERRICK in Afghanistan and with the UN on Op TOSCA in Cyprus.
The Regiment is under Operational Command (OPCOM) of 101 Logistic Brigade within the Army's Support Command.
It is part of the Royal Logistic Corps and consists of a RHQ and four squadrons:
154 (Scottish) Regiment is 'twinned' with 27 Regiment RLC, based in Aldershot in England. 27 Regiment RLC is a regular 'third line' regiment and part of 101 Logistic Brigade.
Each of the task squadrons is equipped with the Leyland-DAF Demountable Rack Off Load and Pick up System (DROPS), which is a Medium Mobility Load Carrier (MMLC). It is capable of carrying 15 tonnes of stocks or equipment cross country, either in an ISO container or loaded directly onto its demountable flat rack. This capacity can be doubled by the coupling of a King trailer.
In addition to the DROPS vehicle, the Squadrons are equipped with the JCB 525 rough terrain fork lift truck; a number of different types of Landrover for both general use and acting as communications vehicles; field catering equipment; and modern weapon systems, including the 5.56mm Rifle (SA80 A2).
