Quartermaster Corps
In war and peacetime, the Army conducts contingency operations and exercises around the world. This means our nation’s ground force has an enormous need for provisions. Officers serving in the Quartermaster Corps, the largest branch in the Army, are responsible for managing those provisions.
Quartermaster officers can command at every level from second lieutenant to general, whether it be in a Petroleum Platoon, a Forward Support Company, a Brigade Support Battalion, a Defense Distribution Depot, an Expeditionary or Theater Support Command, or the Army Material Command. Officers will use the latest equipment and information technologies to solve logistical issues and manage the distribution of supplies and services around the world. From food and water to petroleum, repair parts, field services and weapon systems, officers in the Quartermaster Corps ensure that all soldiers are adequately sustained.
Quartermaster officers can expect to train in seven battlefield functions: Supply distribution, Fuel, Water, Field Services, Aerial Delivery, Subsistence and Mortuary Affairs. Additionally, officers may attend Ranger, Airborne, Pathfinder, Aerial Delivery (Rigger) and Mortuary Affairs Schools.
