REME TA Units
REME TA Battalions
Like the Regular REME Battalions, a TA Battalion is made up of predominantly REME Officers and Soldiers; they also contain all the various trades that REME TA has to offer.
The TA Battalion is divided up into sections called Companies but unlike the Regular REME Battalions, a TA Company is not in the same place as their other Companies. This makes it easier to travel to.

First Line REME TA Units
Like the Regular REME units, REME TA are also attached to every TA Regiment that form a small workshop. This is called a 'Light Aid Detachment' (LAD).
From here, REME soldiers can maintain and repair the units equipment where and when it brakes down. If the repair is too large and complex they can ask the REME Battalion to carry out the repairs.
There are numerous REME TA units around the UK, if in doubt email or give us a ring;
