17 Regiment RLC

Global reach starts on the beach. 17RLC provides the vital link between ship and shore where no port exists. COSARRC joined us for three days to see the authentic DNA of the Regiment, from PT to MEXEFlote operations. Full story on Instagram or LinkedIn.

To honour the legacy of the WWII "Originals," eight 17 RLC soldiers completed the 7 mile Commando Speed March on 7 March. Carrying 16 kg from Spean Bridge to Achnacarry, they met the historic 60 minute standard. Full story on Instagram or LinkedIn.

We recently unveiled the new regimental centrepiece, a mural painted a fantastic local artist depicting regimental history from WW2. Get the full picture here: tinyurl.com/3hcspmmt

AWB41 in Cyprus: MARPOL drills at Akrotiri Mole, medical training led by hard-won maritime experience, plus joint work with the rescue squadron. Crew pride runs deep. Another face of 17RLC maritime logistics instagram.com/p/DOjH2UFjCFB/…

AWB 43 and crew are halfway through a long-passage training exercise, from Marchwood to London, now med-moored amongst the city’s yachts. These passages aren’t about speed, they’re about navigation, teamwork, and learning in real conditions. Next stop: the return voyage.

Halfway there. AWB43 is safely alongside HMS President in London after the first leg of her training passage. A short pause ashore for duty at DSEI 2025 — then the return to Marchwood begins. Curious about life at sea with 17RLC? instagram.com/p/DOcIR9jDAxf/…

What does it feel like to live and work at sea on an Army Workboat? Our latest training passage with AWB43 shows how Soldiers sharpen skills, support Defence, and build camaraderie. linkedin.com/pulse/training… via @LinkedIn

Big thanks to @17_RLC for this brilliant footage of the Mexe being loaded into our dock. Precision teamwork in action #RFA #RoyalFleetAuxiliary #RLC

@thinkdefence Two boat things in as many hours? I only see one boxer on that boat though.. thats cute. Let's try it with a MEXEflote.

Boxer goes for a boat ride

@thinkdefence We prefer to think of such things LITORLALLY. Maybe a few Mexe cells so we can go on the beach when we get where we're going.

You can fit a lot of useful payload in a 40ft ISO container, what would you fill it with?
