155 (Wessex) Transport Regiment, Royal Corps of Transport and Royal Logistics Corps, is a regiment in the United Kingdom's Territorial Army that was initially formed in 1996 - it was disbanded in 1993 and reformed in 2006.
The regiment was first formed in the Royal Corps of Transport in 1967,[1] when the Territorial Army was disbanded and a new smaller volunteer force was created, the Territorial and Army Volunteer Reserves (TAVR). At this time, the regiment comprised two transport squadrons and an ambulance squadron. The regiment was disbanded in 1993, with one squadron being absorbed by the The Wessex Regiment and 233 sqn re-badging to 78 Engineer (Fortress) Regt at Southampton.[citation needed]
The regiment was re-formed in the Royal Logistics Corps in 2006, this time with a HQ squadron and three transport squadrons.
