33 Engineer Regiment EOD&S

Last week, 49 Field Squadron (EOD&S) conducted a range package at Hythe Ranges as part of their ongoing CYCLONE training.

The package provided an opportunity to sharpen marksmanship, reinforce weapon-handling skills and maintain operational readiness.

Another valuable step in ensuring the Squadron remains trained, prepared and ready for future taskings.

A great day at 33 Engr Regt last week as we welcomed the Corps Colonel and Corps Sergeant Major.

After speaking with both the Junior Ranks and the Officers and Warrant Officers, a number of our people were recognised for their achievements.

A brilliant opportunity to celebrate the Regiment, its successes and, above all, the people behind them.

Congratulations to everyone recognised — thoroughly deserved. 👏

Throughout September, the 33 Engr Regt Dive Team delivered training to Royal Engineers divers from across the Field Army during the annual diving exercise in Minden, Germany 🇩🇪.

The exercise focused on sharing best practice and developing Underwater Counter-Explosive Ordnance (UW C-EO) capability. Training alongside
DINOPS provided a valuable opportunity to exchange expertise, compare tactical procedures, and learn from each other’s experiences, benefiting both teams.

A great three weeks of training, collaboration and professional development for Army divers across the Corps.

The EOD team from the Air Land EOD Team (ALET), 22 HQ & Sp Sqn, 33 Engineer Regiment (EOD&S) recently deployed to Utah, USA, for PRAIRIE FIRE 26.

Operating in high-altitude desert terrain, our team participated in this premier EOD Interoperability Training and Knowledge Exchange Visit, hosted by the USAF's 775th EOD Flight. Alongside specialist technicians from 8 partner nations, they integrated into combined international teams to exchange skills, build critical relationships, and tackle complex tactical scenarios.

The high-intensity, two-week training program focused on: 💥 Large-scale demolitions (conducting live-fire range disposals) ⚡ Standoff Mu*****ns Disruption (SMUD) demonstrations utilising directed energy weapons 🛠️ Advanced mitigation techniques and render safe procedures 🔍 Joint training on C-IED, c-SUAS, and UXO scenarios.

A fantastic opportunity to strengthen international alliances, develop cutting-edge EOD capabilities, and ensure we are always ready to combat any joint threat.

Today, 33 Engr Regt (EOD&S) proudly exercised the Freedom of the City, marching through the streets with bayonets fixed, colours flying, and drums beating. A privilege that reflects the enduring bond between our unit and the community we are honoured to serve.

This historic tradition celebrates trust, service, and the close relationship between the Armed Forces and the people we protect. It was a privilege to take part in such a memorable occasion and to share it with the local community.

Thank you to everyone who came out to support the parade. Your warm welcome made the day even more special.

Meet our Padre! (Far left)

Padre W. Is pictured here attending the evensong at Chelmsford Cathedral, where they also marked the signing of the Armed Forces Covenant.

In Pic 2 he is pictured with the minister of Thaxted Baptist Church where he spoke at the monthly Men's Breakfast about WW2 Auxiliary units.

The Padre is a welcome sight wherever he turns up, on camp or on exercise. Always bringing a smile and conversation (as well as the famous stickies).

The Padre is not only there for spiritual guidance regardless of faith, but also a welfare champion and allows soldiers a senior confidant outside their normal chain of command.

Whilst we're feeling the heat in the U.K. this week, 21 Fd Sqn have been feeling it in Kenya!

They've deployed to Kenya for Ex. RANGE SWEEP, working alongside the Kenyan Armed Forces and local civilians on joint partnership and co-operability.

It wasn't all work though with time to play an international volleyball and football tournament (both of which we got smashed by the locals).

Partnership is built through shared experiences.
