quartermasters
Military logistics personnel
Quartermasters are military officers responsible for supplies, provisions, and logistics—ensuring troops have food, clothing, equipment, and ammunition.
The role extends to managing barracks and transportation.
In naval contexts, a quartermaster handles navigation and steering rather than supplies.
The term also appears in civilian contexts for anyone managing stores or equipment: The camp quartermaster distributed tents and sleeping bags.
