.@RoyalMarines commandos and 🇰🇷Republic of Korea Navy Special Warfare operators have completed historic joint training across South West England.
Working with RMs from 42, 47 and 29 Cdo, the two forces sharpened counter-terrorism and counter-narcotics skills through boarding drills, fast roping, raids, reconnaissance and vessel seizures.
The 2-week exercise marks the first UK training of its kind for RoK forces, strengthening maritime special operations ties between the UK and Korea.

At the forefront of Arctic security.
#RoyalMarines are currently deployed to Northern Norway and are trained, tested and built for missions in this unforgiving environment. Commandos are playing a key role in NATO's strengthened Arctic Sentry efforts.

UK & Norway. 🇬🇧🤝🇳🇴
Royal Marines demonstrated specialist skills alongside Norwegian counterparts to @YvetteCooperMP and @EspenBarthEide, showing their vital role in a Hybrid Royal Navy.

Arctic security is vital for Britain and NATO.
As threats increase, Britain is stepping up.
Great to join @EspenBarthEide at Camp Viking to see the work of @royalmarines with Norway and sign a new agreement on tackling the Russian Shadow Fleet.

A rite of passage in the Arctic... 🥶
To test responses to cold shock, all ranks must go through the infamous ice breaking drill - jumping into freezing water and climbing out unassisted to understand what happens to the body when the ice breaks.

It's #WildcatWednesday.
Here are members of the Shore Reconnaissance Teams (SRT) practicing "heli-casting".
From stepping off the high board in the basic swim test, to coasteering for adventure training, it all has an operational reason.
Maintaining the standard of excellence.

The Commando Wildcat AH1 is a fast, agile reconnaissance helicopter, armed with a door gun. It also fits inside an A400.
Many @847NAS crews, both pilots and aircrewmen are @RoyalMarines.
