Español12E RéGIMENT BLINDé DU CANADA
(Redirected from 12e Régiment Blindé du Canada)
The '12e Régiment blindé du Canada' (12th Armoured Regiment of Canada) is a Canadian Forces armoured regiment based in CFB Valcartier, on the outskirts of Quebec City.
Its origins are in 'The Three Rivers Regiment', a militia (Reserve Force) regiment based in Trois-Rivières, a town halfway between Montreal and Quebec City. Originally formed in 1862, The Three Rivers Regiment, after many name changes, became the 12e Régiment blindé du Canada in 1968. This was a new Regular Force regiment which was created in Valcartier, while a militia unit was left in Trois-Rivières under the name 12e Régiment blindé du Canada (Milice). The number in the regimental title commemorates The Three Rivers Regiment's title during the Second World War: 12th Armoured Regiment (The Three Rivers Regiment). The Canadian Army traditionally avoided having city or region names in the titles of its Regular Force regiments; this was likely the reason for the 1960s name change.
The 12e Régiment blindé du Canada's abbreviation is 12e RBC.
Both the regular and militia regiments serve in the armoured reconnaissance role.
