0 fv1609 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) Chris I have quite a number of listings of MOD abbreviations & acronyms but none give a straight answer. So piece by piece dissection is the only way until someone can give a straight answer. There are one or two on here who work in that line who may help out. In the meantime might I suggest: LOG - Logistics SVCS- SV often is Support Vehicle & must be referring to a type of depot in that there is also SVCS for example: DEP SVCS THATHAM SUB DEPOT JT SVCS INTERROGATION ORG HQ ARMY MED SVCS TA RAMC TRG GP CS - often means Combat Support NESBS no idea but obviously the location of the depot MAT PK (V) - Materiel Park (as in TA) Edited May 15, 2016 by fv1609 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 fv1609 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Hi Clive,I am sure SVCS is 'Services' regards, Richard Sounds plausible Richard that seems rather large for an abbreviation. In official lists of abbreviations, anything that has Services in it is just represented with "S". The other thing is that CS is now common to other places eg CVD Ashchurch is now JSCS Ashchurch. Which might be something like Joint Service Close/Combat Support? I thought there was an old thread along these lines, but I've not been able to find it.

Clive, Have a look at page 2 of this link; https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0ahUKEwj6zMGJ1dzMAhVClxQKHczTBT4QFggoMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fdata.gov.uk%2Fdata%2Fcontracts-finder-archive%2Fdownload%2F451978%2Fabf82b94-78f6-4e5d-a645-cd741c0ed303&usg=AFQjCNFHOTmFz1QezPGWiW4qkxfzj0K4SA Hope it works...

0 DMC 7RU Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 JSCS is Joint Supply Chain Services, or should I say was - like NESBS it was one of the many different titles given to MoD Storage and Distribution sites following the various re-organisations that have taken place over recent years. The latest being LS (Logistic Services) or LCS (Logistic Commodity Services), although this may change following the privatisation of Storage and Distribution while no one was looking last year .

0 Chrisg Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 Thanks to all. It's a storage facility then possibly Salisbury/Warminster area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 fv1609 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 NESBS is Non Explosive Storage Business Stream. Excellent stuff, well I would never have got that one. What is your take on SVCS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 DMC 7RU Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Richard's right - SVCS is Services. Though it's difficult to differentiate shortened words, abbreviations, acronyms etc when they all appear in capitals on a MERLIN Report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though it's difficult to differentiate shortened words, abbreviations, acronyms etc when they all appear in capitals on a MERLIN Report. Oh right. Just misled by JSCS, thinking the CS bit might have been the same as in SVCS. Richard, you & that Mr Google Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
