They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

An Access Troop from @54 Cdo Sqn, consisting of Combat Engineers and Plant Operators have built the first overseas Non Equipment Bridge (NEB) by 24 Cdo RE soldiers in many years.

The degradation of an existing ~40 year old bridge had restricted access to the Belizean Defence Force (BDF) for riverine training along the Belize River. It had also denied a crossing point to the local community.

54 Cdo Sqn took the opportunity to conduct expeditionary combat engineer training by designing, resourcing and constructing an NEB that will stand the test of time and bring benefit to both the BDF and local community.
A superb example of Combat Engineering that enhanced the knowledge, skills and experience of JNCOs and Sappers in the Sqn.

An Access Troop from 54 Commando Squadron has been demonstrating its ability to set the conditions for 3X and Follow-on Forces (FoF) through Theatre Setting activities on Ex AUSTERE WOLF. A small, agile but well-resourced team has opened a Sea Port of Disembarkation (SPOD) for the Theatre Entry Group (TEG) to enable FoF to gain permanent access to the Beachhead within the Akrotiri Mole, Cyprus. The team contained a wide spectrum of military engineering (MILENG) capability and has focussed on the interoperability between ME divers, Plant Operators and Combat Engineers.

Working within the Akrotiri Mole, 54 Cdo Sqn have been clearing sub-surface and surface obstacles to establish a safe lane. The ability to clear and establish viable safe routes within the littoral environment for both 3X and the TEG is an essential element of amphibious operations and 24 Cdo RE contains the crucial equipment and skillset to conduct these activities.
