47 Commando (Raiding Group) Royal Marines

#TacticalTuesday Members of J Company, 42 Commando moments after performing a beach landing with @47CdoRM before stepping off on a direct action further in land, with a concentration of casualty evacuation drills.

Jumping into the weekend with M Company, @42_commando. Dropped off by a Commando Helicopter Force Merlin, to link up with @47CdoRM. We wish all our friends and followers a hoofing weekend. 🗡

#RoyalMarines from @47CdoRM recently joined @RNLISalcombe volunteer crews for a joint exercise - testing search patterns, manoeuvres & emergency procedures. A great day building skills and stronger bonds with local partners 🤝⚓️🚤🗡

Great weekend in Normandy with work. It’s been a while since I’ve led a battle field tour, but it was a pleasure to take the group around Port-en-Bessin, and follow the footsteps of 47 (RM) Cdo on 7-8 June 1944 and their battle for the town. An incredible feat of arms. 🥂

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. 🗡

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