62 (Cyprus) Support Squadron
62 (Cyprus) Support Squadron is based in Dhekelia Station, which is in the Eastern Sovereign Base Area (ESBA) on Cyprus.
The unit continues to provide construction, maritime and dive support to the British Forces on the island as well as conducting Community Relations tasks, which benefit the local Cypriot communities. Recently the Sqn has deployed Search Teams to Iraq and several personnel to Afghanistan. The unit is organised into Squadron Headquarters, Field Troop, Support Troop, Resources Cell, Echelon and Workshops.
Unfortunately, the closure of 62 (Cyprus) Sp Sqn was announced in 2009, and the Sqn has seen a gradual reduction in numbers and capabilities since then. It has been announced that the Sqn will stop providing support to British Forces Cyprus on 01 Sep 2010, and will eventually disband on 31 Mar 2011.
