The squadron’s role during the 1960s cold war period, was to provide effective Sapper support in the field.
Initially as a unit within 25 Engineer Regiment, the squadron’s main role was to support 1st Infantry Division.
Then following the reorganisation of B.A.O.R which occurred in early 1968, the squadron became part of the newly formed 23 Engineer Regiment with responsibility for Engineer Support within 2nd Infantry Division.
