Summary: Army Instructional film describing the role of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME) in maintaining and repairing the Army's vehicles, weapons and equipment. The film discusses the hierarchy by which REME detachments work with infantry, armoured and artillery units yet remain responsible to their own command, and the system that provides small, flexible teams to recover disabled vehicles and equipment and pass them on to the appropriate repair facilities. The role of REME in supporting the Parachute Regiment in the field is also discussed, describing the specialist training, equipment and organisation that allows the Corps to work alongside airborne forces.
