Royal New Zealand Corps of Transport

History
The New Zealand Gazette of 12 May 1910 advised that the New Zealand Army Service Corps (NZASC) was formed and became a fully designated component of the defence forces of New Zealand. In 1946 the prefix "Royal" was approved in recognition of the Royal New Zealand Army Service Corps' (RNZASC) service during the 1939-45 war and the occupation of Japan. Effective from 12 May 1979 the RNZASC was disbanded and the Royal New Zealand Corps of Transport (RNZCT) was formed. However in April 1996 the RNZCT was disbanded and was absorbed into the Royal New Zealand Army Logistic Regiment (RNZALR).
