The EFC were absorbed into the ASC in order for the Army to have better control over them and to prevent their civilian status from compromising their safety in the event of capture by the enemy. This was also the case with civilian volunteer ambulance units who were also absorbed into the ASC. I personally take my hat off to these people. For the record the CWGC headstones for EFC personnel that I have encountered on battlefield tours have the inscription "ASC CANTEENS" or "RASC CANTEENS".
