The task of Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME) is to ensure the operational fitness of Army equipment. Whilst there has always been a requirement for qualified tradesmen and engineers, REME has been particularly key to recent operations with soldiers deploying to Bosnia, Afghanistan and Iraq.
Battalion Headquarters directs, controls and co-ordinates the three companies. This will increase to four companies when 118 Recovery Company based in Northampton joins the Battalion on 1st April 2005 and Battalion Headquarters will then exercise command over 400 people in both peacetime and on operations anywhere in the world. Individuals joining Battalion Headquarters are trained as Vehicle Mechanics, Technical Storemen, Driver/Radio Operators, Military Clerks, Finance Clerks, Chefs and Regimental Specialists.
Training:
We train every Wednesday from 19.30-21.30 plus one or two weekends a month.
