45 Commando

For a long time Britain’s experts in cold weather warfare, the men of 45 Commando have spent most of the past decade surrounded by sand. However last autumn saw the Royal Marines return to their natural habitat, the Cougar 2012 amphibious deployment to the Mediterranean, and now in the midst of cold weather training in Norway and the highlands of Scotland.

539 Assault Squadron

539 Assault Squadron Royal Marines is a vital link in the Corps' chain, allowing 3 Commando Brigade to transfer onto land from the sea or river. It can operate amphibious Viking vehicles to deliver force into territories, something which the unit has done several times since it was created in the aftermath of the Falklands War.
