The Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment is a Primary Reserve infantry regiment of the Canadian Army. The regiment is part of 33 Canadian Brigade Group, one of four brigade groups of 4th Canadian Division. The regimental headquarters and one company (A Company, Assoro Company) are at 187 Pinnacle Street in Belleville and on Willmott Street in Cobourg, with another rifle company in Peterborough. The Peterborough Armoury houses what was traditionally B Company or Moro Company. Moro Company also serves as the headquarters for the regiment’s Assault Pioneer Platoon. Normally, the regiment deploys as a composite, Ortona Company, while the headquarters and administration form Somme Company.
In 2017, the Canadian Army assigned the Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment the mission task to raise, train, and maintain the assault pioneer combat support capability within the 4th Canadian Division. Since taking on the task, the regiment has trained more assault pioneers than any other unit outside of the Canadian Army’s Combat Training Centre. Hasty P assault pioneers have deployed on training exercises with the 3rd Battalion, the Royal Canadian Regiment and overseas on Operation Unifier.[citation needed]
The commanding officer is Lieutenant-Colonel Angelo Manzara, who took over from Lieutenant-Colonel Marc Gallant on 11 May 2023. Commanding officers normally hold the position for a term of three years. The regimental sergeant major is Chief Warrant Officer Roderick McNeil. The colonel-in-chief is Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh, who visited the regiment in June 2005 and received a guard of honour from the regiment during his visit to Old Fort Henry in Kingston in June 2008.
