History
Regimental origins can be traced back to 1865 when the first logistic companies were established in the Royal Artillery. It was not until 1880 that there was established a separate exercise department, which still was subject to artillery.
In 2015, the Danish Military Police was amalgamated with the Logistic Regiment.[2]
Structure
Today the Regiment has four logistics battalions,[2] plus a corps of Military police of full battalion strength:[3]
- 4th Transport Company
- 4th National Support Element

gollark: Factories and datacentres and stuff need power constantly.
gollark: No, we need power *constantly*, just telling people "you're using energy wrong" is not really a good solution.
gollark: There are new innovations in nuclear power which could improve efficiency, reduce cost and improve safety too, except nobody seems to be implementing them because people seem to just... not like nuclear.
gollark: Nuclear waste isn't actually a huge issue - you could fit all nuclear waste generated so far into a small swimming pool or something and it's *much* better than the effects of fossil fuel pollution - and meltdowns are rare.
