All members of 10 SQN RAER (Para), as a part of the elite 10th Parachute Brigade, must be airborne trained and complete the Basic Rapid Deployment Force Course (Malaysian Army version of the UK's P Company).

The squadron's original mission was similar to that of the British Army's 24 Commando Royal Engineers.

The squadron eventually grew to 10 officers and 218 other ranks before being fully absorbed by the GGK on 1 December 1981.

The squadron returned to Terendak Camp on 1 November 1992, along with other Malaysian Army existing and future airborne units.
