21 Engineer Regiment

7 HQ & Sp Squadron (currently deployed to Iraq on Op SHADER) took part in a 'Gun Run' event to welcome in the New Year. Competing against members of the Swedish, German, New Zealand and Australian armed forces, they completed 2 X 1 Km runs and 2 shoots. After the event they got to try their hand at each nations rifles. #sappers #allies... #royalengineers #fitness #soldier

Yes please! Great bit of tucker - thanks chef!

Thanks Padre - an awesome carol service! Aussie style Christmas lunch anyone?

.....a great effort by the three field squadrons and the LAD.... carols next...

And we are off with a ‘sleigh’ race....

Great to witness the sportsmanship and will to win of those who got involved with yesterday’s morning of sports. Now looking forward to our Christmas Day tomorrow!

It is with great sadness that we can now announce the death of Corporal Peter 'Stan' Stanley on Tuesday 6 November. Since 2014 he has looked after the interests of our families and played a central role in the strong relationship the Regiment enjoys with Ripon. The loss of such a thoughtful and hardworking soldier is hard felt by all those who knew him. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

The 21 Dive team have been out in force at the World Skills event in Birmingham's NEC inspiring the next generation of Army divers. #armydiving #britisharmy #royalengineers #proudsappers

Op CATAN 5 update.
Cpl Davies and Spr Matthews have delivered a 3-day basic force protection course to the Ethiopian National Defence Force (ENDF), operating under the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM). This culminated in the construction of an operational HESCO guard shelter, demonstrating the skills and knowledge acquired from the Engineer Training Team. #proudsappers #somalia #OpCatan #britisharmy #21engr

Some cracking photos of the Regiment from Remembrance Sunday in Ripon.....

To mark the centenary of the First World War, 238 personnel from 21Engineer Regiment, The Royal Dragoon Guards and 5 Armoured Medical Regiment joined forces to recreate a photo taken 100 years ago.
It commemorates the 8 million horses, mules and donkeys that gave their lives on the battlefield.

This week we resubordinated from 12(FS)Engr Gp and FTC to 25(CS)Engr Gp and 3rd(UK)Div. Great to host our new Gp Comd and teams from both Gp HQs last week, as we recognise past service and look to our future as the lead STRIKE Engr Regt.

Post Op TRENTON, 17 members of the Regiment and one external instructor deployed on a 1 week adventure training package to Bavaria. Activities included hiking, mountain biking and some challenging Klettersteig. A much deserved training package for all involved!

Prior to deploying on Op SHADER, 7 HQ and Support Sqn have deployed to the USA to work alongside the US Army.

Blue berets worn proudly as we joined today’s Parade to Parliament, following which soldiers and families were thanked for their commitment to recent operations.

I was with 21 RE 86 - 90 ish 45 fd spt sqn then 4 fld sqn. Best req in the CRE. left and moved to 33 Antrim then 60 Fld Spt sqn at the beach.

I was 4 Sqn 2 Troop from 1970 - 1975, loved the place, did NI tours 71, 73 and 75 also the trip to Canada in 74 I think.

Had a fantastic time in Nienburg, November 84 to November 94. In 7 Sqn & 45 FSS. Excellent Gulf war tour.

Cannot say anything bad, 'cos my son is a member. He's there so they must be good!

A really fantastic open day I'm not sure who enjoyed it more the kids or me! A big thank you to the lads, lasses and indeed the Regiment.

4sqn and proud early 70s. May the Regiment go from strength to strength
