The Special Operations Engineer Regiment (SOER) is a highly capable Special Operations Command (SOCOMD) unit providing leading edge mobility, survivability and specialist counter Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear or Explosive (CBRNE) capabilities in support of Special Operations.
The unit was formed in 2002 as the Incident Response Regiment (IRR), they are deployed to respond to chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or explosive incidents. In 2010 and 2011 its role changed to supporting the army’s special forces units, and it was renamed accordingly.
On 24 February 2012, the IRR was disbanded and re-raised as the SOER. The reason for this change signified a more accurate name for the Regiment’s current role. The primary role of the Regiment is no longer to respond to crisis management, but rather to provide counter-Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear or Explosive (C-CBRNE) and Mobility and Survivability capabilities to Special Operations.
