The UK Royal Navy (RN) is reorientating and rebrigading its Fleet Diving Squadron into a new organisation known as the Diving and Threat Exploitation Group (DTXG).

The move, effective as of 31 January, is designed to deliver relevant, globally deployable specialist mission teams capable of contributing to maritime Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD), mine countermeasures (MCM) diving, and underwater battlespace exploitation capabilities to operational commanders. The restructure aims to provide the fleet with diving, exploitation, and EOD force elements with greater availability, sustainability, and lethality.
