22 Engineer Regiment is a specialist Armoured Engineer unit within the Corps of Royal Engineers, currently based at Swinton Barracks in Perham Down (Tidworth Garrison), Wiltshire. As part of the 3rd (UK) Division, the regiment provides heavy "Close Support" engineering to the British Army's armoured brigades, utilising powerful tracked vehicles like the Titan bridge-launcher and Trojan obstacle-breacher to maintain mobility on the battlefield. The regiment comprises 6 Headquarters and Support Squadron and three Armoured Engineer Squadrons: 3, 5, and 52, all of which are manned by soldiers trained in both combat engineering and technical trades. The unit maintains a high state of readiness for high-intensity warfare, with recent operational commitments including providing the engineering component for the UK's forward presence in Estonia (Operation CABRIT).
