Staff. Landing Force Support Squadron This Squadron is organised and tailored to support designated tasks. It would be landed immediately after the ground troops during the initial stage of an amphibious operation. It provides control of beach and landing support areas and specific Combat Service Support to the Landing Force. When the remainder of the Commando Logistic Regiment is landed, the LFSS is subsumed into the Regiment's functional areas. Should the distance between the Regiment and ground troops become extended, the LFSS would be deployed forward to once again provide intimate support. Logistic Task Group On 1 December 2009, the Logistic Task Group was formed. It is capable of deploying worldwide in less than five days. The Logistic Task Group, or 'LTG' for short, is part of the United Kingdom’s ‘Small Scale Contingent Battlegroup’. The LTG will provide immediate sustainment to the Battlegroup wherever they are deployed; enabling equipment repair and recovery, logistic supply and distribution and above all, medical support. Designed carefully to complement the Battlegroup’s organic logistic capabilities, the LTG will enable extra reach and endurance demanded by global operations. Forged together since September 2009, and exercised extensively on Exercise Orange Marauder in November, the team achieved a well earned endorsement and validation by the United Kingdom’s Permanent Joint Headquarters and Chief of Joint Operations. From the frozen arctic tundra or tropical desert hinterland through to arid desert plains, the LTG is now ready to launch wherever and whenever needed. 383 Commando Petroleum Troop (Volunteers) 383 Commando Petroleum Troop of the Royal Logistic Corps is responsible for the handling, supply and storage of bulk fuels from ship to shore and under front line combat conditions.
