The Corps of Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME) was formed on 1 October 1942 during WWII. From an existing branch of the Royal Army Ordnance Corps (RAOC). This was supported by the transfer of technical tradesmen from the Royal Engineers (RE) and Royal Army Service Corps (RASC), as well as individuals from other Corps. REME detachments have served in the front line of every major theatre of operation since World War II. REME soldiers maintain, repair and manufacture equipment to keep battle winning aircraft, tanks and weapons in fighting order. The REME exists to ‘Keep the punch in the Army’s fist’, their motto is ‘Arte et Marte’: “By Skill and by Fighting”.

The ‘REME Corps Tartan’ is the only officially registered tartan in the world, to pay respect to The Corps of Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME). And is fully endorsed by The Corps of Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME).
