The unit is based in Cape Town, Western Cape. The role of the Engineers is to maintain mobility and serviceability of own forces and counter mobility of enemy forces. Tasks include bridging, water purification, obstacles, demolition, infrastructure repair and development. ==History== 3 Field Engineer Regiment was formed in 1926 as three engineer companies. In 1940 3 Field was mobilized for World War 2 and the companies saw service in North Africa, where it participated in the desert campaign and the Battle of El Alamein. By 1946 the unit was designated as 3 Field Squadron and along with 1 Field Squadron from Durban, 2 Field Squadron from Port Elizabeth and 8 Field Park Squadron from Cape Town, forming 2 Field Engineer Regiment. 〔http://www.warinangola.com/Default.aspx?tabid=1239&ParameterString=South%20African%20Army&ParameterString2=Engineers〕 By 1975, 3 Field was mobilised for service in South West Africa for Operation Savanah, and was in service until withdrawal in 1988. Since 1994 the regiment maintained a small footprint due to financial restrictions. 3 Field still participates in Exercise Bailey each year. 3 Field celebrated its 80th anniversary in 2006. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「3rd Field Engineer Regiment SAEC」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
