In 1967, the regiment consisted of 125 and 143 Squadrons) from the former North Midland Divisional Engineers. In 1993 and 1999 respectively, 125 (Staffordshire) Field Squadron at Stoke-on-Trent and 143 Plant Squadron at Walsall fell under the command the 75th Engineer Regiment. 143 Plant Squadron was subsequently disbanded, but 125 Field Squadron was expanded with a Plant Troop at Cannock.[2][3][4][5][6] Under the initial Army 2020 restructuring, the regiment has been paired with the 36th Engineer Regiment.[7] Additionally, the regiment will move 12 (Force Support) Engineer Group.[8]
