The Squadron was visited by Comd 25 (Close Support) Engineer Group today. He observed the troops conducting low level training serials, supported by 1MWD and 35 Engr Regt (EOD&S), and presented SSgt W with a richly deserved 2* General’s Commendation.

The Squadron took a short break today to visit Möhne Dam and Wewelsburg Castle. Soldiers from the Squadron delivered first class vignettes, articulating the significance of these sites and highlighting their relevance during the Second World War.

Today the Squadron, and personnel from the Royal Tank Regiment, paid a sombre visit to Bergen-Belsen. Soldiers delivered vignettes around the grounds and reminded us that being a strong deterrent of war, relies upon us being a well-trained and professional Army.

CO @26_engineer_regiment visited the troops on Ex IRON FIRE this week. Our plant operators showcased their skills: including digging a Battlegroup Command Post with compacted bund. They also built an incredible model pit and for junior soldiers to practise the orders process.

A great effort from 3 CER and our PNGDF partners, constructing a trench system to protect us from ‘enemy’ artillery and other attacks. The trench is fully covered with a low signature, two gun pits, and a raised sump for sleeping, making it liveable for extended periods.

Divers from the Squadron honing their skills on Ex SCARAB DIVE in Weymouth. They dived using Open Space Diving Systems (OSDS) and Self Contained Air Diving Equipment (SCADE); testing new communication and 3-D rendering systems. Pity the weather was so testing 😎🌞 ☘️ 🤿
