25 ENGINEER REGIMENT ARRIVE FOR EXERCISE KELP EAGLE

25 Engineer Regiment is one of two Air Support Engineer Regiments who provide direct support to the RAF, under command of 12 (Air Support) Engineer Group.  Ordinarily, they provide the Lead Air Support Squadron, work closely with the RAF Expeditionary Air Wings and deliver on key tasks such as runway repair, fuel supply, explosive storage, technical and domestic accommodation, and force protection as well as covering the generic combat engineer tasks ranging from water supply to demolitions. In the Falkland Islands, however, they are participating in Exercise KELP EAGLE where they will be conducting a number of demanding high-readiness exercises with the RAF, as well as conducting numerous construction tasks to enhance the Mount Pleasant Complex.  A troop is also working remotely from the Regiment to provide real estate enhancements for personnel on the Ascension Islands.
