Would like to know just which units of the Army are being deployed.


The REME have heavy recovery teams, usually for tanks etc. equipped with a variety of machinery. The RE have an assortment of cranes, bulldozers and other lifting equipment. If it is just people to lift and carry etc. then the options are greater. Without knowing anything of the problems involved my money would be on a mixed unit of RE and REME plus Pioneers.
