Formed in 1965 when the Canadian Armed Forces amalgamated, the Combat Service Support units were formed into Service Battalions. The 14 Service Battalion was initially formed with the following elements:

• Maintenance Company: A Squadron, 9 Technical Regiment, Royal Canadian Electrical Mechanical Engineers;
• Supply Company: 6 Ordnance Company, Royal Canadian Ordnance Corps;
• Medical Section: 21 Medical Company, Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps;
