History

3 Medical Regiment was formed in 2000 following the 1998 Strategic Defence Review. The Regiment was formed from 3 squadrons: A (12) Medical Squadron, B (16) Medical Squadron, and C (24) Medical Squadron. Following their formation, the Regiment was assigned to the 3rd (United Kingdom) Mechanised Division and based at Gaza Barracks. In 2002, the Regiment was renamed as 3 Close Support Medical Regiment.[1][2]

Over the next 10 years, from 2003 to 2013, the Regiment saw multiple deployments to Iraq (OP Telic) and Afghanistan (OP Herrick).[2]

In 2010, as a result of the Army 2020 reforms, the Regiment was moved under operational control of the 102nd Logistics Brigade but supporting 3 UK Division.[3][4]

In 2015, as a result of the Army 2020 Refine reforms, it was announced that 102nd Logistic Brigade was to be rationalised and disbanded.[1][2][5][6] The Regiment will be re-equipped with the Mechanised Infantry Vehicle and will see a reduction of 3 personnel.[5][6][1][2][5][6]

gollark: ```rust let multicast_addr: Ipv6Addr = "ff02::aeae".parse().unwrap(); let socket = Socket::new(Domain::ipv6(), Type::dgram(), Some(Protocol::udp()))?; socket.set_only_v6(true)?; socket.set_multicast_loop_v6(false)?; socket.join_multicast_v6(&multicast_addr, 0).with_context(|| "join multicast failed")?; socket.bind(&SocketAddr::from((Ipv6Addr::UNSPECIFIED, PORT)).into())?;```
gollark: It's likely that my code is just setting up the socket wrong somehow, since I mostly just used the multicast-looking things in the docs and rearranged the calls until it stopped saying stupid things like "OS error 22".

gollark: `ip neigh show`, right?
gollark: It says it wants a "prefix", which I assume means `ff00::/8` and stuff, but it also says nothing about that.
