[h=2]Raising of the Australian Special Operations Engineer Regiment[/h]

The Chief of Army, Lieutenant General David Morrison announced the raising of the newest unit in the Australian Army, the Special Operations Engineer Regiment (SOER). The announcement coincided with a ceremony held at Holsworthy Barracks in Sydney.

The Incident Response Regiment (IRR) was taken off the Army’s Order of Battle and replaced by the newly named SOER. The new unit reflects the distinct roles and capabilities of the SOER, which differ from those of conventional Engineer units, whilst still retaining ties to the Corps of Royal Australian Engineers.

The SOER provided two separate practical capability demonstrations at Holsworthy, a Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear or Explosive (CBRNE) neutralisation task and an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) clearance.

The Special Operations Commander Australia, Major General Gus Gilmore also took the opportunity to meet the soldiers of the SOER to personally thank them for their work in supporting operations both domestically and overseas, and paid tribute to their fallen comrades.

Members of the newly raised Special Operations Engineer Regiment stand at attention in front of the new unit flag during the flag raising ceremony held at Holsworthy Barracks.
