The Barrack Service Cadre is as old as Military Engineer Services though it remained under the Control of respective Station Commanders in the initial years during pre-independence era.The Barrack Organisation was originally introduced in 1946 to build up a service of the Barrack Department on the British Army Pattern, eventually to place it under the Army Service Corps as in United Kingdom. It was also intended to transfer furniture form Military engineer Services to Army Supply Corps. These proposals did not materialize due to change of events that have taken place after independence. Late in 1947 it was decided to amalgamate 'Store duties' with those of Barrack and Furniture to create a separate cadre by itself within the MES.
