Rapid Progress in the First Quarter of 2014

The Regiment is fully into reorganisation and rebasing mode. It has shrunk the operation in Elgin and now expands to take on a Squadron in Ireland. The pace of development to improve opportunities for trades persons, plant operators, combat engineers and logistical specialists goes on. Enduring supporting staff such as clerks, chefs, drivers and trained store mangers are always in short supply. The message here is that Army Reserve service in the Royal Engineers has a wide a diverse skills base with commensurate management responsibility through the promotion system. The Regiment is seeing greater opportunities for its members to take part in integrated training worldwide, this positive and focused role will deliver back to industry real benefit at every level. Leadership, management tools, interpersonal relationships and individual confidence are the cornerstone of what Army Reserve engenders in its members.
