The Combined Logistics Command (Chinese: 聯合後勤司令部) was a division of the Republic of China Ministry of Defence. It was established in 1946, formerly known as Joint Service Headquarters, then referred to as the Combined Logistics Headquarters, responsible for the ROC military complement, insurance, transport, health and ordnance. In 2012 the original unit of the Combined Logistics Command and the Army Warranty Command were reorganized into the Army Logistics Command [zh].[1] The camel symbols used by the Combined Logistics Command were moved to the Ministry of Defense's Armaments Bureau for continued use.[2]

In the past various other departments were under the Combined Logistics Command, including the financial balance (Finance Department Jurisdiction), the printing plant (Measured Department Jurisdiction), plant managements, the national arsenal (Production Department Jurisdiction), the Operations Branch, outpatient centres, and the Cemetery Administration Martyrs Management Group (Business Department Jurisdiction).

In 2002, it was reported that the CLC had exported small arms made in Taiwan to unnamed countries.[3]
