6th Engineer Support Regiment

Over the period 01-03 October 2026, the JNCOs, along with the CO, RSM, SSMs, support staff and individuals from across the Regiment offered their support to a well deserving cause. Taking part in the annual 42for42 challenge, working in teams, they continuously walked around Suncorp Stadium carrying 42kg representing the 41 soldiers killed in Afghanistan, and all soldiers we have lost since.

The team did an outstanding job, each individual averaging over 100km over the 42 hours. A test of endurance, resilience, and soldier fortitude.

During Exercise Poziers Run, 6 ESR achieved a Royal Australian Engineers (RAE) first while providing divisional engineer support to 1st Combat Engineer Regiment.

Designed and constructed by the officers and sappers of 21 Construction Squadron, supported by members of OSS, the team built a Non-Equipment Bridge (NEB) capable of supporting the newest capabilities of the RAE. Upon completion of the exercise and with support from our engineer brethren at 3rd Combat Engineer Regiment , we were able to validate the design and construction, surpassing expectations and achieving MLC 130.

Follow the Sapper.

17 Construction Squadron elements are currently at Moem Barracks, PNG working with our PNGDF partners on infrastructure projects. Last week, a tree fell on the barracks severing a powerline and blocking the road.

Upon PNGDF request, our electricians and combat engineers had the road cleared and power back up and running!
