Due to the progressive expansion at the Army in 1995, demand for logistics supplies from the North and East were increased. In order to manage and co-ordinate logistics supply chain a necessity at proper headquarters was arose consequently FMA HQ had been shifted and then situation has arisen to have a proper place for the Headquarters for smooth functions, as result of which FMA HQ has been shifted to the RDA premises Minneriya. Further fwd element of FMA (East) established at the premises of the Fort Fedric in Trincomalee as per a logistics hub to the northern theatre to cater for high demands of logistic supplies.

The designation of the Deputy Comd, Log Comd (East) was re-designated and read as FMA (East), since then the headquarters functions as FMA (East).
