Based at Kinloss Barracks in Moray, Scotland, 39 Engineer Regiment is a unique unit within the Corps of Royal Engineers, designated as the Army's only regular Air Support engineer regiment. Its primary mission is to provide dedicated infrastructure support to the Royal Air Force and Army Aviation, specializing in the construction, maintenance, and rapid repair of airfields, runways, and hangars in austere environments. The regiment is part of 12 (Force Support) Engineer Group and consists of 60 Headquarters and Support Squadron alongside 34, 48, and 53 Field Squadrons and 65 Field Support Squadron. Since relocating from Waterbeach to the former RAF Kinloss base in 2012, the regiment has maintained high readiness for global deployment, with recent commitments including construction tasks in the Falkland Islands (Project Anemoi) and UN peacekeeping support in South Sudan.
