The Royal Engineers have been present in every conflict involving British Forces throughout the world since the late 11th century including the more recent operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Royal Engineer training establishment was founded in Chatham, Kent in 1812 by Major (later General Sir) Charles Pasley and renamed the School of Military Engineering in 1868 before being granted the "Royal" prefix in 1962. In recent years the Royal School of Military Engineering has been expanded to encompass the Defence EOD, Munitions and Search Training Regiment, the Defence Animal Training Regiment, the Royal Military School of Music and the Defence Chemical, Biological, Radiation and Nuclear Centre, collectively known as the Royal School of Military Engineering Group. In 2008 a 30 year PPP Contract was signed between Holdfast Training Services Ltd and the Ministry of Defence for the provision of training, training support services and infrastructure for the Royal Engineers.
