Battalion Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME) is a
Territorial Army Unit based across Sussex, Surrey, Kent and Hampshire. We also have a Company in Northampton. The
Battalion consists of the Headquarters Company, two Workshop
Company's and two Recovery Company's, it is rolled to maintain,
repair, modify and recover nearly all the Army's mechanical and
electrical equipment.
For many years the Territorial Army was
regarded as the Reserve of last resort, a force to be called upon
only when the nations back was against the wall. Today, it is the
Reserve of first choice, an integral part of Britain's land forces,
using much of the same equipment, operating to the same standards and
providing indispensable support to the Regular Army. As a trained
Territorial Army Soldier you may be deployed overseas on an Operation
Deployment in support of the Regular Army and its mission.
As
a Territorial Army Soldier you will be required to train one night a
week, some weekends and a two week annual deployment exercise. The
Units train every Tuesday evening from 8-10pm (except 118 Recovery
Company, Northampton which meets on a Wednesday evening), during
these "drill nights" the Soldiers engage in trade, military
and physical training or prepare for deployment exercises. Annual
deployment and weekend training is challenging, varied and rewarding.
Annual deployment exercises have also given people the opportunity to
visit places as far as Canada, USA, Belize, Kenya, The Falkland
Islands and closer to home such as Germany, Gibraltar and Jersey.
