The #squadron are specialists at Explosive Method Of Entry (EMOE) within 3 Cdo Brigade. During Ex GREEN DAGGER 19.2 we conducted EMOE training with the @USMC at Marine Base 29 Palms and Camp Pendleton. @24CdoRE @54Cdo @BritishArmy @CorpsSM @Proud_Sappers

Yesterday we demolished a 30m high chimney in Skrunda, Latvia. Have a look at the video to see how we did it. Fred Dibnah (kids, ask you parents) would have been proud. #JEFtogether #balticprotector #proudsappers @45CdoGp @24CdoRE @527Oc @3Cdo_Bde @RSMEREWW @UKinLatvia @CorpsSM

An immense privilege for @24CdoRE to host Harry Billinge at our reunion. Here he is chatting to an ex-@CorpsColRE (wearing the first ever Sqn jumper). You could have heard a pin drop as he described fighting his way ashore at Gold Beach. Please consider visiting @normandymtrust.

Harry Billinge @Proud_Sappers & @24CdoRE legend. What a true gentleman #DDay75 one of the first to land at Normandy “some gave some, and some gave all” those words have never left me @normandymtrust
Our final #DDay75 portrait by British artist Gideon Summerfield is of 94 year old Harry Billinge who landed in the first wave of British soldiers on Gold Beach on 6th June 1944. #GreatestGeneration @Gidzsummers

As part of the #ANZACDay19 Commemorations, senior officers from across the Commonwealth have laid wreaths at the Cenotaph. This recognises the sacrifice of troops of all nations who gave their lives in the fighting at Gallipoli in 1915-16. #WeWillRememberThem

Mental Resilience Training #MentalFitness must become as routine in @BritishArmy as #PhysicalFitness. And we must remove stigma from mental health. #OpSMART
Mental Resilience Trainers like Bombardier Elliot have been visiting the Field Army to teach soldiers techniques to increase their awareness of mental health issues and stress management, and how to respond. For more information, visit: ow.ly/LSFH50q02vF

Inappropriate behaviour is downright unacceptable and it stands in stark contrast with everything the British Army represents, demonstrating an indiscipline that is wildly at odds with the values and standards that represent the fabric of not just our Army, but the nation's Army.

Introducing the #CommandoSappers, a #TeamOfTeams who provide military engineering support to #3CommandoBrigade. Troop and Squadron ‘roundels’ have been stitched between the shoulder blades of our infamous squadron jumpers for years. This tradition continues so take your pick...👇

Every year, 24 Cdo RE celebrate the bravery and sacrifice of Sgt T Durrant VC who made the ultimate sacrifice on #TheGreatestRaid. The award in his name - presented to the best Sgt in the Unit - was presented by the son of Sgt Chappel, who fought alongside Durrant that night.
