Mrs. Curtis-Thomas: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the (a) role and (b) action of army
logistics units in Iraq. [116664]
Mr. Caplin: Army logistic units in Iraq formed part of both the tri-service Joint Force Logistic Component and 1 (UK) Division which
provided support to United Kingdom personnel in the Gulf. The role of logistic units in any operation is to ensure the
sustainability and regeneration of combat power.
The logistic unit's achievements include the development of theatre infrastructure and the successful provision of combat service
support to deployed units during the war-fighting phase. Post conflict, the Joint Force Logistic Component has undertaken a number
of successful projects including the building of a fresh water pipeline from Kuwait to Umm Qasr, the opening of the port of Umm
Qasr, the establishment of the Umm Qasr to Basrah railway and the distribution of humanitarian aid and assistance.
