Got to hand it to the team @RoyalNavy, the production quality is brilliant. So, after a bit of a delay, here’s a video about this #hoofing unit (not forgetting the brothers @47CdoRM) Enjoy! @RoyalMarines

#ThrowbackThursday J Company (Kabul Ops Company), 42 Commando Royal Marines, Herrick 9, 2008. With a high level of J Coy activity this week, even though we have evolved over the years, we still maintain the same values and standards.

The UK Commando Force continues to transform. Commandos are the first to understand, the first to adapt, and the first to overcome. Per Mare, Per Terram. Full video over on our "Commando_Operations" Instagram channel. 🗡

What is a Multiple Target Drill? 🎯 It's a high-intensity exercise where operators shoot at several targets in rapid succession, enhancing speed and reaction time. This technique also contributes to sharpening accuracy and tactical judgment under pressure. For NATO's Special…

Australian Special Operations Command hosted Chief Heads of Defence from 14 partner nations ahead of the opening ceremony for exercise Talisman Sabre 25 … Let the exercise begin 💥

Good to go at a moment's notice!🚁 Take a look at this great footage of direct action performed by @42_commando during the continuation cadre leading on from the boarding course. You won't see them coming, you won't see them leave👀

Having fun at HMNB Portsmouth Family’s Day @HMNBPortsmouth #royalnavy

#fridayfeeling for the ranks at 42 Commando. Cooling off from another busy week getting the reps in! Have a great weekend 🫡

WE. ARE. BACK! We have a new Info Ops Cell which will be pushing out, up to date content on a weekly basis. You won’t see us coming, you won’t see us leave 😶‍🌫️ A direct action performed by ranks during the continuation cadre leading on from the boarding course.

Great to see 1SL @GenGJenkinsRM on our Commando Raiding Craft and Landing Craft Utility! @47CdoRM leading the @RoyalNavy’s amphibious operations 🗡️ @RoyalMarines @Commando_Ops

A massive BRAVO ZULU to Jack, on his promotion to Lance Corporal. In just a few months, he has re-energised the @Commando_Ops outputs with style and an expert eye for what our audiences want. Stand-by for more new content in the coming days and a relaunch of @42_commando on X.

Happy New Year from 42 Commando!

📽️The pointiest end of the commando spear... #RoyalMarines of the Surveillance and Reconnaissance Squadron are the first on the ground, often operating far behind enemy lines. They are the eyes and ears of the Commando Force. @Commando_Ops | @DefenceOps
