OP Take Post 2025 - Commemorative Battlefield Tour – 2 to 11 May 2025

Mission
Op Take Post 2025 is intended to enhance cohesion, morale, and esprit de corps of The Royal Regiment by commemorating and celebrating the accomplishments of our predecessors during the Liberation of Holland 1945.

Concept and Scope
-Conduct a ten-day battlefield study immediately prior to and during the 80th anniversary of the Liberation of the Netherlands.
– Aim for 30 to 40 deserving Non-Commissioned Members and Junior Officers representing every Regular Force and Reserve Artillery unit, who will be sponsored through raised donations.
– Invite other serving, retired Gunners and their families, Association members and others, who will pay their own way.
– Aim for two bus loads of participants (80-90 pax). – Engage a professional company that specializes in battlefield studies, with professional historians.
– Arrange all travel activities (flights, land travel, hotels, meals, insurance, etc.) through a professional travel agency.
– Conduct with the assistance of the RCAA, a major Non-Public fundraising campaign at national, local, and unit level to raise approximately $6,000-6,500 per person. Ideally each participating member should contribute $500 towards the trip.
-Identify a Point of Contact per unit that will engage with the national organising committee.
