RAE: Formed in 1902 the Royal Australian Engineer Corps (RAE) had its beginnings in colonial and British engineer units. Some 40 RAE units served in the Great War providing such capabilities as field engineering, tunnelling, signals and railway operation. From a between war size of 233 regular troops and 1750 militia RAE expanded to a total of 32, 984 men in 1945. RAE units served with distinction in many WWII theatres of operation. Since then RAE sappers have served in Malaya, Borneo and Vietnam. Peacekeeping and de-mining operations with the UN continue as does support to the UN mission in East Timor.
RA Svy: Formed in 1915 to provide military maps for the fledgling Commonwealth of Australia, RA Svy played a significant role in the building of the nation. Maps and charts provided by the Corps supported home Defence as much as assisiting in the development of resources and infrastructure. Operating in the Great War, WWII and Vietnam, RA Svy also assisted many neighboring nations in their own mapping programs. Disbanded in 1996 after a Defence rationalisation of its mapping and charting activities, RA Svy has left a legacy of professionalism and technical achievement.
