75 Engineer Regiment (United Kingdom)
75 Engineer Regiment is a Royal Engineers regiment, part of the British Army's Army Reserve.
On formation in 1967(?) the regiment was partially made up of squadrons (125 and 143 Sqns) from the former North Midland Divisional Engineers.
In 1993 and 1999 respectively, 125 (Staffordshire) Fd Sqn at Stoke and 143 Plant Sqn at Walsall joined 75 Engineer Regiment. 143 Plant Sqn has subsequently been disbanded, but 125 Fd Sqn has a Plant Troop at Cannock.[1][2][3][4][5]
Some time between 2005 and 2015, 143 Plant Sqn disappeared from the TA order of battle.
