On Sunday 1 December 2024, the Royal Australian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers will proudly celebrate 82 years of dedicated service to the Australian Army and the nation. Formed during World War II in response to the increasing technical demands of modern warfare, RAEME has since become an integral part of Australia’s military capability, known for its exceptional technical expertise and commitment to maintaining operational readiness.
To mark this significant milestone, RAEME members past and present will come together at commemorative events across Australia, sharing stories, camaraderie, and reflections on the Corps over the decades. From humble beginnings, RAEME has grown into a highly specialised and technologically advanced organisation, supporting the Army’s diverse and complex equipment. This year’s celebrations will honour the contributions of RAEME personnel across all conflicts and operations, recognising their ingenuity and resilience in overcoming challenges both on and off the battlefield.
82 years on, RAEME continues to embody its motto, Arte et Marte – “With Skill and Fighting”, remaining at the forefront of military engineering and innovation. As the Corps looks to the future, it remains committed to its mission of delivering technical excellence, ensuring the Australian Army is equipped and ready for the demands of tomorrow’s battles. The celebrations are a testament to the Corps’ proud heritage and its enduring role in shaping Australia’s defence capabilities.
Happy Birthday!
Arte et Marte
