Hi Ed;
In its simplest terms - for a unit in an armoured or infantry division - at the Corps level - No. 3 Section of the Corps Ordnance Field Park, RCOC held ‘wheeled’ transport - from which the jeep would be sent forward to the Divisional Ordnance Field Park, RCOC (later Divisional Sub-Park, RCOC) from where it would either be picked up directly by a driver from the requesting unit or it would be sent forward to a DP where it would be picked up by a driver from the requesting unit.
The paper trail or the request for a jeep on the other hand went the other way - from the requesting unit to the ADOS at Div HQ - on to the DDOS at Corps HQ from where it would go to the Corps Ordnance Field Park, RCOC who would pass it to No. 3 Section to deal with the issue downwards to the unit as explained above.
Now back to . . .
