EXPLOSIVES experts are set to boost the ranks of a Territorial Army unit.
A specialist bomb disposal unit is to move its operations to the TA centre in Bromley Road, Catford, under a service reorganisation.
The 221 Field Squadron, the TA's main bomb disposal unit, is moving to Catford from its current base in Rochester, Kent.
The move means soldiers will now be able to train in bomb disposal among other skills.
Commanding officer Lieutenant Colonel Terry Smith said: "These are exciting changes which recognise the importance of our role."
