Overview

By far the largest of all the arms of service, the ALC provides the logistical tail for the combat units of the Army (as the Grand Line, ASRF, ANS and AAF provide their own logistical personnel). It numbers some 36,400,000 men and women, and is equipped with transports, trucks, defence units, building units, jeeps, tankers, material dumps and so on and so forth. Its troops guard the ammunition and fuel dumps, drive the lorries that supply the front lines, fly the aircraft that bring in tanks and jeeps, crew the ships that transport the men, and take on the tasks that the 9,100,000 soldiers of the Atopian Army cannot do.

Without the ALC, Atopian Military Command would collapse under its own weight. It is a testament to the work of the men and women of the ALC that this has not happened, and their contribution is recognised by their designation as the ‘Senior Service’.
