Reorganization
The reserve component of the CME has just completed a reorganization. Until recently the reserves had one combat engineer regiment, three field engineer regiments, and seven independent field engineer squadrons. Three Canadian brigade groups had more than one engineer unit, and one (38 Canadian Brigade Group) did not have any units at all. Now the field engineer regiments have been re-designated or amalgamated to become combat engineer regiments, and the field engineer squadrons have either been amalgamated to make new combat engineer regiments or re-rolled as generic engineer squadrons.
At the present 38 Canadian Brigade Group is without a combat engineer regiment to support it. 38 CBG previously had 21st Field Engineer Squadron, based in Flin Flon, Manitoba. It was however disbanded in 1995. In 2003, the Fort Garry Horse in Winnipeg, Manitoba began hosting what will become 31 Engineer Squadron. The brigade hopes to start up a second squadron somewhere in Saskatchewan.
