e/Supply Officer

Information
has gloss	eng: Supply Officer was a specialisation in the British Royal Navy which has recently been superseded by the Logistics Officer, recognising the need to align with the nomenclature and function of similar cadres in the British Army and Royal Air Force. Though initially employment of Logistics Officers in the Royal Navy remained broadly the same, it has begun to reflect exposure to th tri-service environment, including a significantly greater number of operational logistics posts, as well as the more traditional Cash, Pay and Records, and outer-office or Aide de Camp duties. The Logistics Branch in the Royal Navy represents one of the three main branches of the Senior Service, though due to its unique nature has interaction with the Fleet Air Arm, the Royal Marines, Defence Equipment and Supply, the Ministry of Defence and many other agencies and organisations. In centuries past, the Supply Officer had been known as the Clerk, Bursar, Purser and, later, the Paymaster. Logistics officer are still referred to by the quasi-malign term pusser, a derivation of purser.
