Light Aid Detachment

[3] In the British Army the title Workshop (Wksp) is used both for major REME units (Field for Brigades or Armoured for Divisions) and for those minor units which provide some 2nd Line support to the parent regiment.

REME minor units supporting RA, R Signals, RE, RLC etc.

are normally titled as Wksp as they also provide some degree of 2nd line support to the parent unit.

[citation needed] Typically composed of around 60-80 personnel they are attached to a host battalion.

This average configuration does, of course, vary widely dependent on the parent unit and their equipment.
