Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask Her Majesty's Government how many times (1) personnel, and (2) equipment, of the Jersey Territorial Army have been mobilised in support of UK military operations since 1991.

Since 1991 Jersey Field Squadron RE (M) have been mobilised eleven* times in support of UK military operations. All these mobilisations involved both personnel and equipment.

As Jersey's contribution to the UK Defence, the Field Squadron deploys trained reservists to support the Regular Army both on exercises and operations in UK and overseas and have served in both Iraq and Afghanistan as well as supporting Defence’s contribution to the cross Government operations during the COVID 19 pandemic.
