FOD Dulmen

Hello, does anyone know if FOD Dulmen is still in use.

Or has it now closed. [b]

Bob,

Hello and welcome to the Forum, it is good to see another member.

I think you will find that Dulmen is now "defunct"

Have you looked here:-

Good evening Bob
Despite the cuts in Germany Tower Barracks Dülmen remains and home to 67 Supply Services and 68 Logistic Support Squadrons RLC but appears to be many cap bages there and the Station Commander is a RAF Sqn Ldr
Best regards from Iserlohn

When did all this happen? I was there briefly (as a civvy) in 1993/94. The RAOC had just become part of the RLC and FOD Dülmen had been re-designated 14 Supply Regt RLC with, I think, 2 supply Sqns.

Hello, it was 14 Supply reg, I was there then too.

I was a skinny blonde boy then, put on a bit of weight now.

After a long period I have looked at the Dülmen page again and don't think the photo's are correct. They appear to be of Tower Baracks Dülmen.

There is another Bks in Dülmen, which is shown as St Barbara's Bks on the Google Earth info. From memory that barracks was, in the early '90s at least, occupied by a Bundeswehr Artillery Regt.

Tower Bks, which was the purpose built Bks for the FOD, is approx 2.5 Km NNW of it.

Cheers Steve
What I do know, because I was there at the time, is that the unit there changed from FOD Dülmen to 14 Supply Regt RLC at the same time that the RAOC (rag and oil company?) were merged into the RLC (really large corps), so that would be 01-Apr-1993.

This is the updated information for RAOC/RLC Options for Change

6 Supply Regiment RLC provides 3rd line Combat Supplies, Bulk Stores and Specialist Supply Services, in order to support the UK’s military contribution to a National, NATO or Multi-National Force. in addition it provides 2nd line Combat Supplies and materiel to 102 Logistic Brigade affiliated troops.

When the Royal Logistic Corps formed in 1993, 5 & 6 Ordnance Battalions became 6 Supply Regiment RLC with its HQ at Princess Royal Barrack, Gutersloh.

In 1998 the two Squadrons of 14 Supply Regiment, based at Tower Barracks in Dulmen, merged into 6 Supply. This has given the regiment a fairly distinctive nature of being split between two locations with the problems and benefits that it brings.

I have yet to update the relivent page(s)
