Elite Fighting Forces: Royal Marines Commando
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 сер 2012
- To be a Royal Marines Commando takes something special. Recruits have to pass the longest infantry training course in the Western world.
Royal Marines Commandos takes you inside the world of this elite fighting force as seldom before, following Marines through training and on both Arctic and Jungle exercises, including anti-sniper and ambush manoeuvres.
This film also tells the story of the Royal Marines, from their earliest days stationed aboard the British fleet as sharpshooters and landing parties through their first use as Commandos during World War Two right up to the Falklands. Today, their present role is as fast reaction elite troops, ready to fight anywhere at a moments notice.
I have personally served alongside the Royal Marines and was awlays impressed by how absolutely cool and professional they are in situ -- whether doing fleet protection or combat infantry ("Per Mare, Per Terram") ....proud to have fought with the bootnecks - they are ally to the max with a history that leaves all others flat!
Much respect to the Royal Marines Commandos. Glad you're on our side. Semper Fi. USMC 96-00
Great documentary. Thank you so much for uploading! :)
Go look up the Battle of the Imjin River, while the entire US 1 Corps was fleeing and in full retreat, a single British Brigade held off an entire Chinese Army. US Gen James Van Fleet called it "The most outstanding example of unit bravery in Modern Warfare".
Also look up the 1st Marine Division retreat and evacuation at Hungnam.
Great documentary, it was always great serving beside the Limeys :-)
Especially along side 45 Commando/ 3rd Cdo brigade.
Anyone remember the old RM advert? The bloke with the broken leg doing pull ups? That did the best weeding out than the bottom field.....bring that back.
I can remember the 99.6 need not apply, that was always in the lads mags (1997)
One of the adverts shown worms cooking, however in reality we never had to eat worms.
The Royal Marines Band did the Thunderbirds theme tune for the end credits of the 1966 film - Thunderbirds Are Go.
I'm glad you kept your cool there mate. Good luck on your application and I hope you make it as a bootneck. Per Mare, Per Terram.
thanks
Mr. Nichols , I have nothing but respect for the Forces of Her Majesty, The Queen. It is foolhardy to diminish the ability of the Viet-Namese just as it's foolhardy to sell short the ability ,commitment of some sneaker wearing Pashtuns in the mountains of Afghanistan . Our will and technology mean nothing if we're not willing to be equally brutal.
USMC do nut run further at all, RMs do 3 miles in 22:30, even with a minute break they still smash the USMC minimum time. Plus that doesn't take into account the 10.1 beep test, assault course and gym test. RM training is internationally recognised as "one of the longest and most physically demanding specialist infantry training regimes in the world".
When US Marines recruits can do 30 miles in 8 hours come back and talk. Your Rangers don't even do that, they do a measly 12 miles on flat road.
Yup. USMC believe their own propaganda
Look up the Battle of Bladensburg, the US marines fled from the Royals so fast, that they had heat stroke trying to keep up. It has been called "The greatest disgrace ever dealt to American Arms". It was also the Royals that lit the match on the Whitehouse lol. Can you Imagine the Brits letting the USMC torch Buckingham Palace?
"The term “commando” is so widely used today that it is easy to forget that the original Commandos were Winston Churchill’s “Steel Hand from the Sea” meant to harass the German-held coastlines of Europe during World War II. Churchill chose the designation “Commando” for his raiding units based upon his experience with the fast-moving, hard-hitting Boer Commandos he had faced in South Africa."
We haven't even mentioned the rest of Afghan yet. In N.E Afghan US Forces have fled from numerous districts. From the Pech and Korengal Valley, you even bribed insurgent leaders with 6000 gallons of fuel to not to attack you, while you packed up and left. You fleeing from these areas freed up the insurgents to attack Kabul regularly, which was once a pretty safe province.
I know I'll get covered in others' comments but... Guys... Respect to the Royal Marines and respect to the United States Marines. No doubt these challenges take great commitment. Hopefully that commitment is backed by good character. We're allies now-a-days and, for lack of a better term, "cousins". Chill out you guys. It's okay to be patriotic...but let's be respectful. Respect is a trait I hope any U.S. Marine or Royal Marine would have.
I am not high, I was merely repeating comments made by the USMC Recon guys that were here. Your radio equipment is smaller and light apparently. Most likely due to it being more modern which enables it to be more compact. Speed marches virtually part of daily fiz, we are talking about the regular trips to scotland and the moors made by SR troop involve carrying that excessive weight. Well done in Iraq by the way, I am sure all parties have equally as great stories to tell acorss Iraq and Afghan
Well said good sir. Its a breath of fresh air to read comments that are NOT seeping with Bull Shit for once.
The instructor on the sergeants course wore the cap badge of the Royal Green Jackets, if I'm not mistaken?
The best
I think you need to look at the situation more particularly. The British had a problem in Helmand solely because the Government refused to give them the equipment required. They had no proper helos, no armoured vehicles, no proper MRAPs because the Labour government considered military spending a waste. The USMC moved in to cover for it due to UK government restrictions meaning the British had nothing to properly do the job. It wasn't to do with the individuals on the ground, but rather the PM.
Your bias shows through there. The UK's military has witnessed successive cuts since the end of the Thatcher period, a reduction brought about courtesy of the UK military's post-Cold War restructuring recommendations, and also by the penny pinching of British governments. The rot really began to set in with John Major's Conservative Government, with defence cuts continued more or less in keeping with the inherited Tory budget plans under Blair and then Brown, and continued to this very day under the Cameron and May(day) Conservative governments. It's a symptom of the UK's diminished economic means, rather than the fact the government is pro- or anti-military: Even at 2 percent of GDP, in line with the UK's minimum NATO obligations, the UK is financially stretched...and the situation doesn't look as though it is set to improve in future, either.
Before you harken back to "the good old days" of the Thatcher era, too, it is best that it be kept in mind that the historical trend for the UK since the end of the the Second World War has been year-on-year military reductions, and the diminishment of British power in the world, brought most starkly into relief by the Suez Crisis that later led to the withdrawal of all UK Forces from "east of Suez". Thatcher's heightened spending on the British military during the Cold War (sustained at levels of 4.5 percent of GDP, which is comparable to the current US defence spend in per capita terms) was unsustainable, and came at the considerable expense of other urgent matters of governmental business, such as health and education.
Otherwise, your reasoning is sound.
Uh?
What some people don't seem to understand is that british marines are the best, and reason being is because they do commando tests which are most toughest tests on the planet. The rmc training is 32 weeks long, and that 32 weeks is just basic training until the last of the 32 weeks which are commando tests. The rmc (Royal Marines commandos) don't get green berets for nothing, it shows that they have gone through, the toughest military training in the world and are the best, it's only the best of the best that get green berets. The Royal Marines commandos are a 3 comnando brigade which can deliver devastating consequences on a big enemy force, America, their, marines don't do commando tests and don't get a green beret stating elite, so yes us Brits can say our marines are tougher and more elite. The U.S. Marines are the same as british army, which is a basic infantry unit. So the Americans need to get a grip and understand that you only get green beret if you go through elite training and are the best. So american marines non elite just basic and no green beret, british marines elite and green berets. And the best, British marines are a small group but they can take a big army with that small group. So the Americans need to shut their mouths and take the fact that uk royals are elite.
Royal marines training made the guard regiments training looked childish.
Don't think you've heard of p company british paratroopers fitness tests are harder and their is more and you do some of them twice in one day
luckyluckyman boro indeed?
charlie hanson " The U.S. Marines are the same as british army"
bwhahaha are you fucking kidding me?
There are more SF qualified US Marines than there are Royal marines put together.
USMarineRifleman0311 Maybe there are more, but that doesn't make them better.
Cannot wait to go for my commando training and get the green lid!! Up the commandos!!
Did you do it?
Howd it go Buddy
How'd y'all get on buddy 🥸
I can do four push ups now with good form.
How many now?
You are ready.
1.25 bring back those uniforms
Love the snipers Corp colour beenie
What is the soldier at 6:50 wearing? Is he a late war commando in a Denison smock?
I was in the elite boy scouts.
I suspect you've had a few boy scouts in you.
He is the same person as USMarineRifleman. I know. We'll just leave them alone. The marines are great and we know it.
The short clip of troops in Norway 6.00 are French Legionnaires of the 13em DBLE,
They've got Brit para insignia
@@RayCyst310 Yes. I got the time wrong. Go back 10 seconds you will see men in French coats. 5.49, 3 men, definitely in French uniform with the "british" style hard had... Wether they are FFL is in doubt because all the pictures I've looked at showed the 13dble wearing the French hard hat with the ridge on the top... Definitely not British paras or Royal Marines......
7:42 Lord Lovat.
No i agree and in the peninsular war Napoleon him self said It was the Spanish and Portugese that gave him the most problems.
American with British girlfriend ? Super troll USmarineRifleman0311, how many aliases do you have ?
Yep, the first French army to surrender and bring an end to the long streak of French victories was at Bailen in 1808 to the Spanish.
Wellington was fighting even then a rearguard elsewhere with Portuguese allies. I mean 20,000+ Spaniards lost some 200 men while facing 21,000 Frenchmen in the open! and end up capturing an army, which included many regts of elite infantry and cavalry.
Struzimathien Endricathimis Sendrinalias. Plus .
I'd love to know where is the end statume, of the marine with the flag? Looking like the iconic Falklands rear man
I'd like to add I served in the 90s, joined with 748. and as far as I know that guy at the end of that patrol was a Matlow. Or that's what the Matlows was saying in the day.
The actual 'Yomper' was Cpl Pete Robinson, 40 CDO AT Troop, attached to 45. The statue is outside the RM Museum, in Eastney.
I therefore doubt you've served anything more than a Pint in a pub as you are clearly clueless about all things RM.
@@davej44 not at all, I never did find out that info, it wad a ex royal come Matlow that informed me of this in tue 90s. Awfully sorry my memory isn't that good on names. Ironically I'm now a landlord of a pub lol.
22 RMs shot down a Helicopter, and disabled an Argie Warship with a Carl Gustav. The only time in history where infantry successfully took on an enemy warship.
Now please provide me with a stat that shows more Army personal IN 3cdo (not attached) than royal marines.
Boxing doesn't matter. The Royal Marines have never lost an engagement against the USMC, to the best of my knowledge. Smoke on that.
Ben Stone: What are you talking about "Weekends Off"???? Royal Marines get 1 day off a week, a Sunday. Although it semi relaxed day, it actually I time used for church (optional) and the preparation of equipment and study material for the next week.
Church was mandatory for the first 6 weeks at Deal. Leave pass Sunday, from midday to 23.59hrs.
No, not pre 2nd world war, 1976.
if only the USMC would adopt the RMC POI TTP for both boot camp and OCS. especially now after the GWOT, cuts and RIFs are the norm. this alone would clear the cuts.
Do you think The training should be harder in US Marines
God save the Queen!
Whereas what happened in the Pech and the Korengal was a full blown retreat. You had just taken a beating, FOBs and COPs literally being overrun, so you decided to "Pull out" "retreat". You fled so fast that you left equipment behind, and in some cases bribed insurgents not to attack you while you packed up and left.......= retreat.
Also if I remember correctly, British troops have been fighting YOUR wars for the past decade, not the other way round.
I am not referring to the Boer war.. I was talking about the South African Officer mentioned in connection with establishing the marines as commandos in WWII and the word 'commando' being used based on South Africans......
38 minutes in is the Royal Green Jackets not RMC
Rmc have won more wars than the usmc
Etymology
The word stems from the Afrikaans word Kommando, which translates roughly to "mobile (originally by horse) infantry regiment".
People here have to remember the UK does not HAVE the amount of branches and divisions as the U.S for its military...the RMC are not special forces as they are elite INFANTRY...NOT surgical tools like the special forces....the RMC are COMMANDOS though..shock troops that carry out special force type missions on occasion..they loosely a blend of navy seals, marine force recon and army rangers if one had to define them..they are a far more elite force than the rangers or us marines or army etc
Every expert on Helmand, is saying that once NATO forces pull out, the Taliban will have Sangin back within a week. Brilliant job.
You've left Afghanistan in the middle of the night without telling the Afghan Govt. The Taliban already now have 50% of the country. Great job, America!
38:30 what is that cap badge? it looks like the badge a royal marines officer with a VC would be issued but idk aha
Small Arms School Corps.
If you're still bothered..,.
Once again you have to resort to insults. I am a full British citizen and a white South African, they can call me what they like it will not phase me even in the slightest. I am done arguing with you, once again, the Portuguese reference is irrelevant. Please refer to the Royal Marines website, any of the quotes I provided, or just watch this video to see that the reference that is relevant is the Afrikaans word regardless of its Portuguese origins, it has been adapted. Merry Christmas, cheers.
Any war in which your president flees his home after promising to fight to the last, has his hats, clothes, love letters and valuables taken by British Troops as souvenirs, then has his banquet eaten by said troops, before they proceed to burn down your entire capital city, is nothing less than an historical embarrassment to me mentioned as little as possible.
I recently had a meeting with an RAF flight lieutenant who said that the RAF regiment and paratroopers are around the same level but the marines are higher and said they were borderline special forces i their skill set
ทหารคิงดมเข้าใจบ่
Americas last in first out. Top gear go to the top of Vietnam quicker then them. Hahaha
How many times have the spineless brits had their sorry warmongering arses kicked in Afghanistan? Coming from a brit, whose govt follow the US everywhere, like pathetic lapdogs, thats rich!
btw - Warrenpoint '79 was a gas.

You really need to re-evaluate your role models.
I'm talking about the US marines compared to anything. No one should even dare to compare the U.S. Marines to the Royal Marines, it's a completely different league. America is just notorious for not being able to get the job done.
+brendan are you aware of the perspose of our arrangment with the usa they offered their help in the fawlklands (even though we turned it down) and when they need help we give it them. then when we need help in the future they will give it us later
Royal Green Jackets
you were in all three, i guess. tell us more
I'm sorry but you are wrong, They will regularly carry over 100 Lbs on their back, My husband has just done 2 weeks in the Scottish hills yomping with that weight. He also just spent three days on the dartmoor with 2 US Recon Marines. Your equipment is smaller & lighter than ours & your guys also agreed that they carry lighter weight for Recon, our training conditions are also tougher - 60 mile per hour gale force winds, sleet, no natural protection, soaking wet etc.
Thanks for supporting your husband.
Why are the ANA suffering such heavy casualties in Sangin? I thought the US Marines had cleared the area of insurgents?
RMC and USMC are virtually incomparable......The RMC is a light to medium Infantry based Corps compared to the mechanised USMC......The USMC is bound to have more SF seeing as its bigger than the whole British Army, however bigger doesnt mean better. Also while the British Forces are considerably smaller the SAS and SBS principles are applied by All other SF around the world......FACT
RMC are better then the USMC
Yet as Marines the US train with our Marines who in turn give the US skills they never thought they would need and end up using.
That is not a yank narrator it is british, that is what british people used to sound like before people started dropping their letters and sounding like a hybrid of Asian, African and English. You will meet many people who speak like that in Sussex.
Royal Marines = us navy seals us marines = british cadets
What the fuck are you going on about?
อังกฤษ ลอนดอนค่ะ
Britain would kick us ass
Who made this? At 24:45 they are Dutch Marines!
There used to be a Company of Dutch Marines (Whiskey Coy) attached to 45 Cdo, I'm guessing that was some of them.
If I remember correctly, didn't the US Marines flee from the RMs during Bladensburg, which has been called "the greatest disgrace ever dealt to American arms." After that they torched your capital city lol.
Talking about N.Africa, after Brit 8th Army chased Rommel into Tunisia, all the yanks had to do was clean up.....result - kesserine Pass and Sidi Bou Zid, where the Yanks were saved by Brit Armour. Rommel and his officers had nothing but contempt for the American fighting man.
You seem to bear a huge grudge against the Royal Marines! Not interested in starting any arguments here, but I just want to know, from where does that contempt of yours stem?
"We dont let you quit until you die of exhaustion"
Do all of your Marines have to be baby sat......
What are you talking about?
"Lieutenant-Colonel Dudley Clark of the Royal Artillery put forward the name 'commando' for the new force - after the term used in the Second Boer War." if you would be so kind as to do a little searching on the word commando, and the royal marines you will find these references littering the internet.
This is the internet, a British invention. Get over it.
Having lived in the US 2 years two of my really great friend went into the US marines and US navy respectively. Each scored high enough to do anything in the ASVAB. Even though both had no uni/college education, one was a maintenance man. I met a guy who joined the US army who literally could not read fully. Even your own guys make fun of them. Much respect for your guys, but what your saying is nonsense.
Us marines = british basic soldier Royal Marines = navy seals
What do Royal Marines think about the French Foreign Legion?
Why don't you ask them?
My grandad was a sgt maj. And fought highly of them and thought they were the second best fighting force.
Why do you ask this on every video about Royal Marines?
TheQuestionOfficial Good individual soldiers. Tough guys. But that's where it ends.
No comparison between Legion basic training,and Marine Commando. The latter far more involved,and more selective.
Having done both!!
If you want to see someone with a grudge for the RM you should check this guy out.'Sturmmann' Stacks of edited videos that do not really portray the whole story and he removes all ability to comment
No just because u have numbers doesn't mean u have skill watch 300 they proved it
You do realise that Helmand started off as a Yank AO right lol. The Brits had been there a week, and they were already saving yank arse in Sangin. A massive convoy of Yank soldiers was ambushed in Sangin, with resulted in some serious US casualties.......who do they call in to protect the yanks and smash the Talibs.....the Paras. Your welcome.
because what happened 200 years ago is still relevant today isn't it?
Very
Nice fact for you. The 1st Marine Division was the first to be evacuated at Hungnam, Last in, First out lol. Opp Opp Oppen Hungnam style.
The RMs had heat stroke trying to keep up with your Marines lol. When Madison fled the Whitehouse, he left a banquet to the delight of the RMs. Who happily devoured it, they then took your Pressies valuables such as love letters and hats as souviners, before they torched our capital to the ground. Where were your US Marines lol.
Directly from the Royalmarinesmuseum.co.uk: "The word ‘Commando’ originates from the South African War of 1899-1902, and was used to name the groups of irregular Boers that were raised by electoral district to fight the British." You lose.
Kommanders from the boers
Thats the difference. Out of the HUNDREDS of AOs the US had to cover u can name 2 or 3 that we withdrew from, u on the other hand retreated from every last one of your assigned AOs. And did we beg for someone else to come do our fighting for us in the Korengal or the Pech (both of which we returned to btw). No. But in every SINGLE case where u retreated the US had to come in and retake the town. Of all the allies, its only the UK thats needed the US to fight every SINGLE battle for them
Just like to say that 'SWORD AND MUSKET' who posts on here a lot is a fanny for deleting my posts on his video's when I was rebutting his lies about the Royal Marines.
Nope they're not. Ask any RMC Officer or member. Heck, you could even ask the queen! None of them will say that the RMC is a Special Forces unit or even Special Operations unit. There are four Special Forces units in the UK Armed Forces that we know about.
1. SAS
2. SBS
3. SRR
Then there are SFSG which are under the UKSF Command but not SF themselves.
Again, I do not care whether the origin is Portuguese, with regards to the ROYAL MARINES AND THIS VIDEO as stated within THE VIDEO, it is taken from the adapted term for the boer kommandos, please re watch the video and you will see this. I have no desire to argue with you, I hate keyboard warriors so just watch the video and you will see that you are wrong.
Oh and 3Cdo with more army personnel than Royal Marines? Please prove this statistic, because I am very certain you are wrong.
Normally? they carry a rifle and their immediate kit while on the speed marches...not the 100lbs load, if they attempted the latter they wouldnt do 25k in 4 hours let alone 1 hour.
OUR EQUIPMENT IS SMALLER AND LIGHTER? are you high?
We have just done away with the heaviest flak jacket in history.
We pack to fight protracted battles not do reconnaissance.
My unit lasted 46 days non stop outside the war in Iraq, last time I was there. Amateurs talk about training, professionals study logistics
And in the history of War the french have won more wars then the British 13-11.
To this day the Taliban control areas 200 yds from the main Sangin base, Sangin has never been tamed, despite dubious US Marine claims. US cmdrs realised this, withdrew and handed over control to the ANA to save face. Today the US Marines don't even leave their base. Good Job lol.
9/11 funny as fuck plus it was the fe
What was it the Royal Marines yomped 60 or 90 miles and the Argentines didn’t expect it therefore they set up no defence there
90
Respect both the Royal Marines and US marine corps, but objectively the RM are more highly trained, training is 32 weeks with 4 months of infantry training then 4 months advanced and commando training, USMC is 12 weeks.....spot the difference. The US Marines are high grade infantry/sea going soldiers. RM are elite commando units/naval security. They have different roles and are both great at what they do, but in terms of training RM are objectively more highly trained. The US equivalent of RM would be US marine recon, which learn commando and advanced recce tactics.
Now I hate to compare dick sizes so to speak, but many yanks are here talking shit so I’m trying to set the record straight. Against he basic facts here:
USMC : 12 weeks training
RM : 32 weeks training + commando tests.
Are you joking? The RMC is an elite light infantry force. The RMC is not a Special Forces unit and are not on par with Special Forces in ANY WAY. They've not had the same type of training nor do they have as high requirements.
The U.S Navy SEAL's are Special Operations and are far more capable that RMC. Not because U.S Forces are better in any way, but because the SEALs are a different unit with different requirements.
SBS - DEVGRU ("Seal Team Six")
SAS - SFOD-D
What...? I never said once that the Commando Units are originally RN? Sorry man, but you are arguing for the sake of arguing, the only thing I am interested in is the WORD commando and its use within THIS video. You are trying to start side arguments with me about things I have neither claimed nor do I have interest in them. If I am claiming that the word commando comes from the boers, why would I assume that commando units originate with the RN? Think about that for a second.
I am in the process of joining the RMs, I have numerous friends in the British Military, I have friends who have served in Afghan and others who are still to deploy. All SOUTH AFRICANS. Why are you so bent on being aggressive and obtuse? Grow up, understand constructive debate and move on. I looked through your comments on other videos, you are a serial-arguer/insulter. Get over it. Merry Christmas mate. Cheers.
Very nicely put,I bet you were very well suited. Seven years ago?
Just one problem SA80 Hate them. L1A1 every time.
the rmc are special forces i you don't believe me look it up
There not on there application they are ELITE light amphibious water based forces compared to the usmc they are heavy infantry the RM get taught by u
Know SBS SAS SRR the reason why they
Dont have heavy infantry is because there commandos small groups on "raids"
They would be ranked the 1st in the world
If they had more marines the uk goes for quality over quantity compared to the us is the opposite their method is brute force
Keep on attacking untill they give up
I dont evan know why I even responded to a 7yr old comment ur probably not gonna look at this
ไปก๊อบบี้วีดิโอเขามาทำไม
You do not kill 1028+ enemy, some on the end of a bayonet, by "hiding behind Hesco" you twonk. The RMs killed nearly 200 insurgents in a 3 day engagement no long ago. 470 enemy in a tour isn't anything to brag about.
The same could very well be said of every other major power in the world, even the U.S. Just because they did certain jobs for colonial-minded governments in the past does not make them a bunch of enforcers waving the Union Flag over every little country out there.
Even after you flew in an entire MEF into Helmand, Sangin is still today as dangerous as it's ever been. The Taliban still control villages not 1k from the main Sangin base. Even with thousand of more troops, hundreds of Helicopters and armoured vehicles.....you still failed. Congrats.
I am fully aware that the RMs are Navy? You are making up things that I have never said and just diverting from the fact that your initial statement that the word commando has nothing to do with the boers IS WRONG. I do not care about vikings, I do not care about the word commando meaning one soldier or whatever you think it means. All I care about is that your initial statement to me is wrong. End of story, stop trying to evade it.
It's so fucking easy just to do a little research!!
USMC fitness test age (17-26) - minimum 3 pull ups, minimum 50 crunches and the 3 mile run in 28 minutes........lol. RMs could stop and have lunch and still run 3 miles in 28 mins.
RM recruits have to do the 30 miler carrying 40lbs plus rifle and water over rough Dartmoor terrain. Yanks do it on paved road, and barely break 10 miles lol.
