Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Pictured is an engine change on a CRARRV (Challenger Armoured Recovery Repair Vehicle) using a Warrior AFV 512 or 513's crane.

The vehicles are being operated by REME Vehicle Mechanics from ES Bn (Equipment Support Battalion) during Op Herrick 15.

The Challenger Armoured Repair and Recovery Vehicle (CRARRV) is a highly evolved armoured vehicle designed to recover and repair damaged tanks on the battlefield.

The vehicle has two winches, main and auxiliary, and an Atlas hydraulically operated crane capable of lifting a complete Challenger 2 power pack.

A modern, high-tech Army needs highly trained men and women to keep equipment working. The role of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME) is to do just that; maintain, repair and manufacture equipment to keep battle winning aircraft, tanks and weapons in fighting order. The REME exists to ‘keep the punch in the Army’s fist’.

Every part of the British Army has a REME detachment within it allowing opportunity around the world from Belize, to Canada, to Cyprus, to Kenya.

REME has a set of eight trades: Armourer, Recovery Mechanic, Avionics Technician, Electronics Technician, Metalsmith, Vehicle Mechanic, Aircraft Technician and Technical Support Specialist.

From repairing Challenger tanks at the forefront of the battle to maintaining the Apache Attack Helicopter, REME keeps up to date with the latest in advanced technologies and complex equipment, constantly evolving our training programme to make the seemingly impossible possible.
