Östgöta Logistic Corps was formed as the 2nd Göta Logistic Corps (No 6), according to the 1901 Riksdag decision. The corps belonged to the 2nd Army Division. The corps was raised in November 1902 at Wendes Logistic Corps in Landskrona. The corps was initially placed in this corps' barracks. Its 1st Logistic Company was formed in 1902 and in the summer of 1903 the first enlisted conscripts enrolled. In the autumn of 1904, the 2nd Logistic Company and the 3rd Medical Company were formed. In December of the same year, the corps received the name Östgöta Logistic Corps. On 1 January 1907, the corps received its own commander. Before that, it had been commanded by the commander Wendes Logistic Corps. By General Order 1377–1906, it was decided that the corps would be temporarily located in Ränneslätt next to Eksjö in Småland Hussar Regiment's (Smålands husarregemente) old barracks. On 30 August 1907, the move took place from Scania. The next change in the units's history took place through the ordinance of 11 October 1907, when the treasury affairs were separated from matters concerning provisioning, quartermaster equipment and suchlike. This meant that the Administration Department was divided into six new departments and one Cash Administration. In December 1911, the corps finally reached its final location, when they moved into newly built barracks in Linköping.
