79 Engineer Group

The 79 Engineer Group was a British Army formation established in 1967 as part of the Royal Engineers. Its primary role was to provide engineering support, including construction, infrastructure development, and combat engineering tasks, across various locations in the United Kingdom and Germany. The Group played a vital role during the Cold War, supporting British Army of the Rhine (BAOR) operations with mobility, counter-mobility, and survivability solutions. The unit was eventually disbanded in 1992 as part of the post-Cold War restructuring of the British Army.
