A squadron of the Rhodesian Corps of Engineers. In Commonwealth armies engineer units are squadrons rather than companies; 1 Engineer Squadron was based at Brady Barracks, Bulawayo. Its men carry sapper ranks.
Separated on 25 September 2026 from the combined entity "2 Squadron (RSF)", which held both this squadron and No. 2 Squadron of the Rhodesian Air Force. The two are unrelated units that share a number.
Source for the engineer-squadron structure: https://fatfox9.net/tag/rhodesian-corps-of-engineers/ . No founding or disbandment date is recorded here: the 1935-1980 span belongs to the Rhodesian Air Force and would be wrong on an engineer unit.
