  1.  @abingdonboy  Royal Marine Commandos were being used as a standard infantry at times in Iraq carrying out routine patrols of towns. With some technical training they could be doing the same job as US navy seals or Green Berets but instead are used in the most ridiculous ways. I also suspect they intend to use them like US Army Rangers to act as a rapid reaction shock troop that can be deployed in certain zones.

  2. I am not buying into this concept at all. It sounds like something an unelected bureaucrat would come up with.

  3. It was not their choice to be misused. UK needs to cut expenditure to the welfare state and increase military expenditure.

  5. There is a fleet service that specializes in that. The problem with the british armed services is it so poorly funded to begin with that Royal Marine Commando were being used as a traditional infantry unit and shock troop.

  6. British commandos are already are trained to operate as small teams hence why they are called Commandos. It was the SAS and SBS that copied the Commando structure.

  7.  @mrwood4557  Future of warfare has nothing to do with the world right now or the next 10 years claiming that Bots are going to be the next big thing does not mean it is going to happen over night or in 2030. Royal Marine Commandos can already work in small teams to carry out Commando raids. When you do Commando training the emphasis on tactics and capability is to be able to work in small teams. Royal Marine Commandos can already operate as a forward raiding group for larger forces.

  8. @Akira Sharma-Barkess UK Armed services has terrible funding hence why they were using RMC for standard infantry roles.

  9. No. They are going to be used somethings similar to US Army Rangers as an elite shock trop but their numbers will be reduce drastically.

  10. It is all staged for the camera so people watching can see something happening.
