Partners on Humanitarian Aid and Disaster Relief
September 8, 201924 Commando Royal Engineers (24Cdo) provide the military engineering support to 3 Commando Brigade Royal Marines. Held at Very High Readiness to deploy worldwide, highly trained commando engineers using modern technology enable the Royal Marines to understand, live, move and fight. Rescue Global believes that these Commando Sappers (engineers) are the perfect choice for Disaster Response Operations as, like Rescue Global disaster response personnel, their training allows them to be self-sufficient anywhere in the world. Their current Troop in the Bahamas, as well as working from (ship) Mounts Bay, they remain on the ground to work through the night, rather than return to the ship.
