1 Combat Engineer RegimentШаблон:NoteTag (1 CER, Шаблон:Lang-fr) is a Regular Force regiment of the Royal Canadian Engineers (RCE) commanded by a lieutenant-colonel. Its headquarters is in the Patton Building at CFB Edmonton (Steele Barracks), Alberta, and it is assigned to 1 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group.
History
1 CER was continually involved with rotations to Afghanistan as part of the ongoing War on Terror. Due to the regiment's special armoured engineer capability, every Canadian rotation since 2006 had a minimum of an armoured troop from 1 CER attached. As of the start of 2011, 1 CER had six soldiers killed in Afghanistan.[1]

Armoured engineers
1 CER is different from other CERs as it holds the Canadian Army's armoured engineer capability. Formerly this was provided by the Badger Armoured Engineer Vehicle (AEV)[2] Since 2018 the Badger AEV has been replaced by a Leopard 2–based AEV[3] that is known in Canadian service as the AEV2 (still commonly called the Badger, or Badger 2).[4]
