National Roadside Repair and Recovery (NRRRC)

“The Authority requires a 24 hour per day, 365 days per year, roadside repair and recovery service available in the United Kingdom, Europe, and North Africa for MOD owned and registered vehicles.” It was decided in 1998 that a contracted service was required to provide roadside repair and recovery for MOD owned and registered vehicles due to existing military recovery facilities being unable to deliver the required level of support across the national networks in Germany and the UK within 2-4 hours of the recovery request. There was also no capacity or capability to deliver the service across the rest of Europe and North Africa, which remains the case due to the geographic disposition of military Units holding recovery assets.
