65 Works Group (Reserves), The Corps of Royal Engineers British Army Tea Mug Gift

65 Works Group is a specialist Army Reserve unit within the Corps of Royal Engineers, providing critical infrastructure capabilities that mirror and augment the Regular Army's Works Groups. Formerly part of the 170 (Infrastructure Support) Engineer Group, the unit now operates under 12 (Force Support) Engineer Group following the former's restructuring in 2022. Based at Chetwynd Barracks in Chilwell, Nottingham, 65 Works Group is unique in its recruitment of professionally qualified officers and soldiers—including chartered engineers, surveyors, and utility specialists—who apply their civilian expertise to military problems. The group commands several highly specialized teams, such as 507 Specialist Team Royal Engineers (STRE) which focuses on railway infrastructure, and 509 STRE for ports, alongside other teams dedicated to water and general works. These reservists frequently deploy to support complex overseas operations, having delivered essential engineering solutions during Operation Trenton in South Sudan and disaster relief efforts in the Caribbean.
