24 Commando Royal Engineers

This is the official Facebook Page for 24 Commando Royal Engineers, a regiment of the British Army.

24 Commando Engineer Regiment supports 3 Commando Brigade Royal Marines. Expeditionary in nature, this elite fighting force is optimised as an Amphibious formation, with the unique ability to rapidly deploy around the World and project force without reliance on ports or airfields.

Based in Chivenor, North Devon, 24 Commando Engineer Regiment conducts operations across the spectrum of conflict in support of 3 Commando Brigade, meaning that each member must be trained in amphibious warfare, as well as knowing how to operate in the jungle, across deserts, over mountainous terrain and in arctic conditions.

The Regiment has an establishment of 361 Officers and Soldiers and comprises: Regimental HQ, 54 and 59 Commando Squadrons, REME Workshop and Regimental Echelon.

The coveted Green Beret, the distinctive hallmark of Commando trained troops, is worn by the Regiment, recognising those who have completed the grueling and physically demanding tests of endurance, whilst displaying the Commando spirit.

All individuals who volunteer to join the Regiment will have the opportunity to complete the 9 week All Arms Commando Course, after receiving coaching to develop their strength and endurance. Progressive in nature, this pre-course conditioning package focuses upon developing the individual to undertake the arduous activities of the Commando course. The 'train-in' not 'select-out' ethos of the course, provides volunteers with the best chance of success.
