Workshop, Support, Korea

Each military division has a central workshop, where major repairs are conducted, and within the division, RCEME (Maintenance) units are embedded to enable certain repairs.

  • 1st Line – on the spot.
  • 2nd Line – located in field workshops back from the front.
  • 3rd Line – responsible for reconditioning and rebuilding equipment. 

The RCEME are charged with the maintenance of all electrical and mechanical equipment in use in the Canadian army today. The branch is broken down into five trades:

  • Vehicle technicians: repair and maintain anything that operates with an internal combustion engine
  • Weapons technicians: maintain all weapons employed throughout the army.
  • Electronic-Optronic technicians: maintain and repair optical systems, electronic targeting systems, laser and infrared ranging and targeting systems, air defence anti-tank systems, night vision equipment, etc.
  • Materials technicians: have a diverse job that stretches from welding, to repairing tents, to auto-body and carpentry.
  • EME officers: (Maintenance Officers) are responsible for managing and leading RCEME workshops, both in garrison, and in the field.
