Who are the REA?

Who are the REA?

The Royal Engineers Association (REA) is the Regimental Association of the Royal Engineers.

Originally founded in 1912 under the name The Royal Engineers Old Comrades Association, the Association acts as a link between service and retired members of the Corps.

Why does the REA exist?

Each year the association considers hundreds of requests for assistance from serving and retired personnel and their families.

Our role is to provide support to those who have given so much and are in need whilst maintaining and promoting awareness of Corps traditions.
