Pakistan Army Corps of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering
military unit
The Pakistan Army Corps of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering is a military administrative and the engineering staff branch of the Pakistan Army.
The EME provides maintenance and inspections of wide range of Pakistan Army's mechanized and aviation assets and provides machinery of components besides supporting expertise in electrical works for the Pakistan Army.
Overview
The Pakistan Army Corps of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering (EME) was formed as a separate maintenance arm into the Pakistan Army from the partition of the British Indian Army's Corps of EME— only twenty officers joining the arm. It was the British officers in the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME) that provided the support and training to raise the corps to help maintain the equipment of the Pakistan Army. Brigadier Vivian Edgar Beards was the first officer commanding of the EME when it was commissioned in the Pakistan Army as a corps on 20 October 1947.
From its early years, the education on electrical and mechanical engineering was provided by the Loughborough University with a mutual agreement between the British Army and the Pakistan Army. In 1957, the Pakistan Army established the College of Electrical & Mechanical Engineering with support from the United States Army. Subsequently, many officers of the army went to universities in the United States to study electrical and mechanical engineering. The College of Electrical & Mechanical Engineering was later upgraded in 1969.
The Corps of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering did not restrict its support to the army but extended its support to air force and navy, though each branch established its own staff corps to maintain their arms within their units.
The public source identifies “Pakistan Army Corps of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering” as military unit. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Pakistan, Army and Corps.
