Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (1 CSB REME)

The Corps of Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME; pronounced phonetically as "Reemee") is a corps of the British Army that has responsibility for the maintenance, servicing and inspection of almost every electrical and mechanical piece of equipment within the British Army from Challenger 2 main battle tanks and WAH-64 Apache helicopters to dental tools and cooking equipment/utensils.

Each regiment, will have REME soldiers attached to it. The soldiers normally form a small workshop that is called a Light Aid Detachment (LAD). From here, REME soldiers can maintain and repair the units equipment where and when it breaks down. If the repair is too large and complex they can ask the REME Battalion to carry out the repairs.
