A Base Army Post Office was established in Calcutta to handle the British and African troops mail of the XIV Army. From there it was forwarded by rail to Imphal and then trucked or flown to the forward Field Post Offices.

The staffing of FPOs were shared between both RE (PS) and the Indian Army Postal Services (IAPS). Due to the incidences of malaria among the RE (PS) personnel, many of the FPOs were manned entirely by IAPS staff while the RE (PS) staff recovered.
