The history of the 570 Map Reproduction Troop RE in Singapore, alongside the 84 Field Survey Squadron RE, is notable for its contributions to British military cartography in the 1950s. Established in 1955, these units played a key role in mapping efforts during the Malayan Emergency.

However, by 1960, the operational needs of the British military in the region had changed, leading to the disbandment of both units on August 31, 1960. This marked the end of a significant phase in their history and reflected a shift in military strategies. The disbandment was followed by the formation of the new 84 Survey Squadron RE on September 1, 1960, which continued the legacy of survey and mapping operations in Southeast Asia.
