Future Commandos: Why the Royal Marines are Changing | ACCESS

Royal Marine Commandos test their newest kit and equipment during Exercise Serpent Rock in Gibraltar.
In this episode, we explore how Royal Marines are training and adapting to a new way of operating in some of the world’s toughest environments.
Watch as Marines use drones and throwbots to conduct amphibious operations, cliff assaults and close-quarters battle within the tunnels beneath the Rock.
Royal Marine Commandos are moving back to deploying in small teams of elite raiding squads - kitted out with some of the latest battlefield technology - giving them an edge against their adversaries.
The Future Commando Force is described by the Royal Navy as the most significant transformation and rebranding programme for the Royal Marines since the Second World War.

On the one hand, the loss of the larger formation capabilities is a significant loss. But on the other, it's kind of nice to see them truly becoming "commandos" again.

[@DaveSmith-cp5kj]

Unfortunately this is done because politicians want to view SOF as their own personal fixer team, when in reality SOF can only work well if they have the logistical support from the greater army. The downside of this is a much smaller pool of viable candidates from which to elevate to SOF, and a higher casualty rate of SOF due to being put on missions setup to fail.

[@aldinssmoke]

You don't know what you're talking about. Everything you've said is complete fantasy. The L85 is an excellent weapon and even the rubbish said about the A1 stems from the original Enfield production and once they moved to Nottingham those problems were eliminated and it was a massive step up from the SLR. The A2 and A3 are nothing short of fantastic. The only reason that 43CDO use the C8 is for the sake of non-frangible ammunition which is something that you want when you're in very tight spaces to avoid ricochets. Keep your armchair punditry to yourself

We haven’t fully replaced it yet because NATO (USA) is thinking about changing from 5.56 so replacing the rifle only to have to convert it within a few years would be a massive waste of money, when we switch calibers all the L85/SA80’s will go

[@metaljugger]

Thats a wonderful theory. But you might notice that you can't exactly *replace* an assault rifle for mid-to-long range accuracy like the L85-A3 with a compact and light carbine for short ranges and indoor environments like the C8. They have different applications and just because the C8 was being used in a tunnel exercise that precisely suits their use, doesn't mean the British army are abandoning a good rifle. Thank you for you glowing endorsement of ArmaLite products but I don't think they need another sales representative. As it turns out not every NATO force bends over backwards to imitate the US, practically no one in fact. So you marketing the AR-15 like is some brand new innovation in the firearms industry makes about as much sense as the Russians marketing the AK47 as the future of modern war fighting.

I dont get HOW exactly I personally benefit from this you dont know my life - I guess it doesn't matter because the western elite are soon to axe their populations and thereafter will meet their own end.

I’m sorry to hear that, I’m 17 and was planning on joining next year. Found out I need to get laser eye surgery to pass medical but can’t get it done until I’m 22. Then I need another year for recovery. If I join it won’t be until I’m 23. My motivation levels are like a roller coaster. Who knows if I will still want to join in 6 years.

@@wack3939 Here's what i mean *Major General Lucian Truscott of the U.S. Army was a liaison officer with the British General Staff. In 1942 he submitted a proposal to General George Marshall that an American unit be set up "along the lines of the British Commandos". Five Ranger Battalions would be organized in the European Theatre including the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th; the 6th would be organized in the Pacific Theatre. The 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th Ranger Battalions were “Ghost” formations, which were part of the deception plan known as “Operation Quicksilver*

@@phonkaddict2119 No I so having seen elements of Ranger training and can categorically say it's no way harder than RM training. The physical tests used on soldiers looking to join the Rangers are actually easier than those used by civilians, (potential recruits), looking to join the RM's Issue is some Americans equate the RM's to the USMC as a whole but their on a higher level, same with our SAS & SBS who are superior to US counterparts. As for bigger numbers being better I'm afraid that's definitely an American belief.

They should have done the tunnel clearance using the Tactical Effects Simulator, so you get a realistic amount of 'casualties' taken out of the game. And did you see the GPMG stoppage on the first round?

[@jamesbussey2911]

The trouble with all this 'more tech, fewer men' approach is that along comes a war where the enemy force you to have to put lots of boots on the ground, whether you like it or not. If you haven't got them, you'll lose. Luckily we did for the Malayan and Borneo campaigns, Northern Ireland and the 1990-91 Gulf War. Not so good for Iraq and Afghanistan, where we failed to dominate the ground, and we couldn't do another Falklands War/Suez type operation. Not that anyone's fired a shot in anger since the withdrawal from Afghanistan, apart from the RAF over Syria. I've seen a couple of the Forces TV episodes about British forces in sub-Saharan Africa, and there is a reluctance to get involved in combat against the insurgents there. Well, if our soldiers don't fight, how can they train those who are going to, once the combat experience of Iraq & Afghanistan runs out?

Will be interesting to see how the western changes in doctrine end up working out. So far it looks like the western militaries in general are trying to fix the old problem of "Preparing for the previous war". Could be a dangerous bet honestly, organizing for faster more agile forces works great against insurgent and unconventional enemies. But this could be a dangerous change in the long run, the western military, all the way from its top command structures at the highest level, down to individual units and NCO's lack any real experience when fighting a near peer force, here's hoping they can adapt

[@kms50549]

Well…seems you have been some what vindicated in your concern by recent geo political developments.

[@Dash101]

I get your point but most peer militaries are allies or nuclear weapons countries which makes the need unnecessary. The west (and I include close allies such as Japan and South Korea in this) has enough of an advantage on all but a few such as Russia and China, and let's be honest, war with those two won't require conventional battles.
