  2. They are not getting a new doctrine. That is a myth. How the navy uses them maybe different but their abilities are the same.

  3. They have always been Commandos with those capabilities. The main problem is that Britain does not have special operations.

  4. What will more than like happen now is that the Army has created a special operations force and the Navy will probably follow that and create their own special operations.

  5.  @StephenButlerOne  The UK never had special operations. The UK has special forces which is an actual role.

  6. They are not restructuring to be more like those units they already have that capability and have always been raring to go. There are times that RMC get used in that capacity.

  7. USMC and RMC are not the same type of force. One is a traditional marine force the other is a special operations force.

  8. Royal Marines are Commandos and depending on the specific unit they have capabilities that are in line with those needs. They are still the premier maritime force for the UK military. That means cliff assaults, beach landings, river expeditions, Lake and mountainous terrain warfare.
