The Challenger Armoured Repair and Recovery Vehicle (CRARRV) is a highly evolved armoured vehicle designed to recover and repair damaged tanks on the battlefield.

The REME exists to Ôkeep the punch in the ArmyÕs fistÕ. Every part of the British Army has a REME detachment within it allowing opportunity around the world from Belize, to Canada, to Cyprus, to Kenya. REME has a set ofÊeight trades: Armourer, Recovery Mechanic, Avionics Technician, Electronics Technician, Metalsmith, Vehicle Mechanic, Aircraft Technician and Technical Support Specialist. From repairing Challenger tanks at the forefront of the battle to maintaining the Apache Attack Helicopter, REME keeps up to date with the latest in advanced technologies and complex equipment, constantly evolving our training programme to make the seemingly impossible possible.
