The Structure of the RAOC Association

The governance of the RAOC Association is the responsibility of the RAOC Council and the RAOC Executive Committee.

The RAOC Association is based on a branch structure, which includes 16 regional branches and 11 national branches which encompass trades, sporting interests, specialists and widows. Our Branches have a chairman and secretary and hold their own meetings and events. The RAOC Association’s branches come together twice a year at the RAOC Reunion and on Rembrance Sunday, where branch representatives participate as part of the RAOC contingent on the Cenotaph parade.

Uncharted - The Journey of a Military Chef is here!We’re beyond proud of RLC soldier Cpl Jaden Dunn, who has launched his very first cookbook to support two incredible causes, The Veteran Charity and The Burnt Chef ProjectThis isn’t just a cookbook – it’s a mission. A mission to help veterans facing hardship and distress, and to break the stigma around mental health in the culinary world, especially for our service chefs. With profits from Uncharted, we’re funding mental health support and building better networks for those transitioning out of military life. Let’s not forget: over 3,000 veterans are currently sleeping rough in London alone. This book represents hope, community, and action. Grab your copy today and be part of the change. Together, we can make a difference for our veterans and service chefs. To find out more information, DM us! ... See MoreSee Less
