Army Engineers Train for Ops on the Thames Amid Historic Race
Pictured is a Combat Support Boat of the Royal Engineers moving along the Thames with the London Eye in the background.
They are multi-tasking by providing security and marine support to the worlds oldest boat race, Doggetts Coat and Badge rowing race and practicing their real life navigation, safety and recovery skills at the same time.
The Combat Support Boat is a powerful, versatile craft whose major role is to support both bridging and amphibious operations.
Water jet propulsion allows high thrust at shallow draught. It can also be used as a general-purpose working boat in support of diving operations, ship-to-shore re-supply and inland water patrols.
The boat is carried on a purpose-built launching and recovery trailer. It is used exclusively by the Royal Engineers
The British Army protects the United Kingdom's interests at home and abroad, providing a safe and secure environment in which all British citizens can live and prosper

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness the Army Engineers of the Royal Engineers Corps training for operations on the iconic River Thames. Against the stunning backdrop of London Eye, a Combat Support Boat gracefully glides along the river, showcasing their multi-tasking abilities. During this historic event, Doggetts Coat and Badge rowing race, these skilled engineers not only provide security and marine support but also practice their real-life navigation skills. As they maneuver through the waterways with precision and expertise, they demonstrate their proficiency in safety protocols and recovery techniques. The Combat Support Boat itself is a remarkable piece of equipment that plays a vital role in both bridging and amphibious operations. With its water jet propulsion system enabling high thrust even at shallow draughts, it proves to be an incredibly versatile craft. Additionally, it serves as a valuable asset for diving operations support, ship-to-shore re-supply missions, and inland water patrols. Transported on a purpose-built launching and recovery trailer, this boat remains exclusive to the Royal Engineers. It symbolizes their commitment to public security while highlighting their exceptional capabilities in military waterborne craft. This photograph captures not only the dedication of these soldiers but also showcases the beautiful terrain of River Thames against one of London's most famous landmarks. It stands as a testament to their rigorous training amidst such picturesque surroundings.
