If you were a young lad looking to pick a branch of the UK Military to join, surely this type of video would point you towards the Royal Marines. Excellent work.
Cant blame em, wish they gave the same promotional effort to the Parachute Regiment
Absolutely, the Marines media channels have always been superb. It puzzles me as to why the Army can’t produce similar
It’s videos like this which have helped make my mind to join the marines next year
@@m9rsm284 I’ll see you in Norway
@@m9rsm284 Good luck brother, you’ll need it. Trust me.
The production level of royal marines social media really is on another level compared to the british army or the raf. Will similair videos be made about the commandos operating in the jungle or the desert?
What are you talking about, the raf regt just released a cracking vid aimed towards recruiting from the lgbt community, how to properly insert a mortar tube in an airman.....
The Army just released a new video on how to camouflage your prayer mat if you’re a Muslim.
Agreed - an aspirational organisation for the COD generation. Very professional.
Take a look at finnish defense force videos. Almost as good as this
I'd be interested to see how they are trained to deal with an American or Mexican crocodile menace, as those are the two most aggressive types of of that species.
Being a Norwegian and knowing first hand what the arctic can bring of challenges, I'm happy that our allies from UK are willing to train in these conditions. We just hope their skills is never needed.
The skills will only be needed with you guys as backup!.....Nobody fucks with us....
Allies and cousins. Much of my Manx DNA is Norwegian.
@@DPG214 i watched a video the other week and a guy explained scousers, is a norwegian word, a lot of liverpudlions are descended from norway, pretty cool
@@wesleywilliams4511 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scouse
Yes, we all hope they never will be needed!
I'm a soldier in the Norwegian army and I am really grateful for the Royal Marines to join our training up her in north Norway, and so they are able to join us in a Potential conflict. Thank you!
For those who do not have artic training will have a very hard time the first moths in a Potential conflict in the north.
same really good vid!
I bet u guys are used to the cold
Fighting in the Arctic would be on another level. In hindsight I loved training in Norway and would love to come back some day.
@@PJBoy Norwegians are pretty used to cold weather yes, but its mostly that we know excactly how to dress for the cold weather
Hei, have any tips for people to join the forsvaret? I’m going to join next year and I would just to have some advice from someone actually in.
Tusen Takk
The commandos are taking this to a whole new level, looks like they know something is coming...
Defence cut probably. The blokes were sick doing all this training to be an army brigade
Buat persediaan
Can’t get complacent in this business
@JLOCC maybe there is peace by you, but we have been at war for years, there is no such thing as peace because during "peace time" is when most of the fighting happens
Lachlan Chester I hope the Higher ups in the military, the civilians in the pentagon and the politicians in the US thought the same. Over here, if there isn’t a conflict, all of the people I mentioned to you earlier, try to use the military for political gain.
God bless the Royal Marines.
Greetings from a Dutch Marine. Love working with the Royal Marines from the UK
I did an ex with you guys in the mid 90’s, proper decent blokes, professionals. ✊
Seriously your PR machine has got it right on the Button. Fantastic in style and cinematic presentation. It's no wonder the Army is struggling with it's numbers with all their touchy feely hug a tree.
Yep. They did a poll with teens and it showed they had zero interest in the Paras and TONS of interest in the Royal Marines. Armys woke recruiting push backfired.

I've always liked the Brits. Greetings from Norway.
Pressure cooperation with you Britain,
Love and respect from your northern Allie 🇳🇴🤝🇬🇧
The kit now compared to even 20 years ago is quite rightly superb. Excellent soldiers with a great ethos.
Do Royal Marines get offended when they're called soldiers like how our Marines in the US do? Here, they'll start going crazy if they're called soldiers because "they earned the title" and all that 😭 at least the moto ones get like that, ones who are older don't seem to care much
@@Justin_GFM doubt it, they would be more offended by being compared to us marines lol
@@Justin_GFM they soldier but they are Marines. I served with them when I was a soldier and now work alongside them in security teams. Top blokes.
Correct...did my first winter 40 years ago when we had to use tent sheets...now that was soldiering!...however, give me the Arctic over the jungle any day!😊
I’d also add that my first winter was on wood skis....they’re better now👍🏻
There is nothing special about it. The only thing ‘new’ is the body armour and everyone in the army and RM had the same one.
I must, say, im very proud to have these guys fighting to protect us ever day 🙏
Imagine if us and uk operators teamed up, we’d be unstoppable 🇺🇸🔥🇬🇧
@@TheCarson65 They do... all the time.
Passed my PRMC when I was 19, got badly injured and was unable to join. Watching videos like this make me have mixed emotions. I'm bloody proud of these guys, but God damn I wish I had the opportunity to earn the green lid.
Instead, I joined the Army. Deep regret. Lads who are looking to join.. train hard, dream big and push yourself.
It's worth the short term pain.
Army commandos? Why not? Back up as gunners or engineers needed! Go play!
@@mikewalrus4763 although that's exactly what I did, it just was not the same. That's only my personal perspective though - my dream was the Royals.
@@John9O0H would you mind explaining the differences between them?
@@tedcopp567 sure mate.
So in my experience you have 3 regiments that are commando trained that are primarily from the Army.
First you have the Logisitc Support Squadron (RLC cap badge)
You have 24 Commando Royal Engineers
And 29 commando Royal artillery
Those 3 units are British Army soldiers who have completed the All Arms Commando training that allows them to operate alongside the Royal Marines. The Army commandos primary role is to fill in the gaps the Navy cannot provide themselves.
So for myself, I joined the Army, completed training then proceeded on the all arms commando course. On completion you can wear a green barret but with your cap badge.
So you work with the Marines, but are not a Royal marine.
You also get similar roles within the Army who complete their airborne training (p reg) who then support the Para's on operations
Royal marines are some fucking beasts! I am proud that they train alongside us in the harsh Norwegian winter climate. Greetigs from Norway🐺
I left in 2007 and it still gets me excited to this day. The videos that are being produced as well are hoofing so far ahead of the other branches.
As an Army veteran, I’ve got to admit the Royal Marines have always been light years ahead with media and recruiting channels. The Army ones are laughable at times
Honoured to have the British Royal Marines join us for training here in Norway. Did the ice break drill myself and it's fascinating how your body just forgets how to breathe without conscious effort once the shock hits you, so it's good that these guys clearly know the importance of getting experience with extreme climates
As an elderly 74yr old granny from across the sea, in South Africa, all respect and admiration! How wonderful to see young men of such calibre prepared to undergo such incredible training. 🇿🇦👏🏻
The Army’s Paras & 16th Assault Brigade(Pathfinders) are really going to have BIG issues filling their recruitment targets in the coming years, because the way the RM has been knocking these informational videos out of the park, even for an older lad, you’re hard pressed not to want to be part of their mission statement.
Britain needs special operations with Paras, Commandos and smaller units being part of that. And they need a clear operational objective as well.
Greetings from Norway, glad to have you as our ally!
Good to see Royal Navy photographers making such quality productions. Definitely much better and interpersonal compared to a civilian firm getting a contract to do this.
Fucking brilliant these guys. Proper job 👌
Royal Marines and SBS, respect from Brazil.
Met with quite a lot of Royal Marines in Northern Norway during my year there. There always seems to be a Royal Marine up there. Tough as nails and great guys.
During my childhood, I remember British and Dutch marines training in my home town. 😊 I later did my national service with some of them.
Where you’re from, do you have to enlist in the military for a certain amount of time?
@@TheCarson65 Im from the area where this film was shot. National service is the most important source for recruitment to the military, but there is enlistment too.
Always happy to have our British brethren over for some training.
Each and everyone of You, Deserves the Absolute Respect of each and Everyone of us. Thankyou.
Very proud of the Royal Marines . Historically Linked to Gibraltar since 1704 . They carry on their Cap Badge and their Flag , GIBRALTAR .
With Best Wishes.
British Gibraltar UK Overseas Territory 🇬🇧
Bravo Zulu! Take the hardest, nailsiest guys we have and put them in the harshest environments. That creates some incredibly capable soldiers. My advice - never mess with Royal Marines Commando!
figured id look at the videos after the video i saw 08/10/22 and wow this is incredible cinematography holy s***
Training to become fierce and focused warriors? No wonder you ended up here in Norway with us. Welcome, brothers!
Now you will begin to understand why I can sleep soundly at night. Thank you very much for your service to our country. You're awesome.
Beautifully filmed and edited. World class production values for a world class unit. Even if you have no specific interest in the military, this is a great film to watch. As an instrument to educate, enthuse and elicit interest to recruit, it is superb.
I hope their Social media reps are reading this comments.. Fuckin eh boys, outstanding video
@Caleb Maddrey stfu
@Archer Brody sad
Our army has the best special forces in the world you guys are true heros and such a big inspiration.
respect and love from a norwegian!
Per Mare Per Terram Brothers, brings back some great memories , we have been doing winters for absolulty years. The M&AW Cadre are seriously underrated fellas , they are a 3rd special forces in my eyes without a doubt.
This is fucking brilliant. The production team are clearly top dollar and worth every penny
Were you ever a member of the Popular Front For The Liberation Of South Devon, by any chance?
Greetings from Missouri, USA. That was awesome!!!!
Best in the world
To true
Better hope the paras don’t see this comment 🤭
Maybe overral, but in the arctic I'd say we are 1 step ahead, as we should be ))
@@NorwegianNationalist1 obviously cause its your country lol
@@nathankirwan2565 Very true.
Without a doubt the marines have won me over the arny at this point
If you just want to join the infantry yeah, I’d still say trade personally
Don’t forget, you have Army Commandos. Absolutely fantastic and motivated troops, well respected within the military.🇬🇧
I remember walking into a careers office in the 90's. I had put on a tie and was open minded.
The Army rep stayed seated and tossed an insult about my recognition skills.
My mind closed.
I said it was nice to meet him, but he needn't stand as I was hear to see the Navy; which was quite clearly the senior service.
My mercenary instinct led me to offshore oil during that part of my life.
I have always remembered the small size, but commitment of the marine rep.
He made it very clear, strength of mind made marines not bluster.
Takes me back to Northern Wind 2019, a big exercise in northern Sweden with Sweden and Finland on one side and Norway, Britain and US troops on the opposing side. I was in a Swedish armored recon platoon, and we were traveling along a road in the CV90 at night to set up positions to watch their troops from. All of a sudden we stopped. Turned out we had come upon a bunch of royal marines skiing along the road at night (which we were explicitly told not to do, due to the risk of being seen haha). At first there was some questions as to whether we could capture them as it was still just in the beginning stages of the exercise. One of their soldiers were running up along our column, and I opened up my hatch on the gunner side of the CV90 and asked him whether he was British. "Yes", he responded. I smiled at him and asked, "Can we capture you?" he smiled back and asked, "What are you even going to do with us?" I shrugged and said "I don't know!" and we both laughed. He then asked me what we were up to and I told him we were just on a supply run ;) It was all in good fun, good times.
Stunning video and well informative, can’t wait to apply in some years when I get my fitness up and some knowledge.
Having done 5 winters in Norway with the Commandos this is a very good video and best of all not an SA80 in sight :)
One of the best advert military videos !! Well done BOOTNECKS !! Noticed Tashes are old school !!👍 Nice to see no lefty, touchy feely approach to the message !! Some of the best troops in the world today !! Per Mar Per Terraum !!
Another top quality production showing the RM’s at their best. BZ’s.
The production of the footage is on par with a big budget film. Outstanding
It was like having a picnic when it was -41°C and I was camping in the forest at my armytimes. Greetings from Finland
I never made it to Norway when I was in the USMC back in '85-'93. The Corps always had an annual exercise in Norway called 'Alpine Warrior' and I had hoped to go on it at least once. In '90, I finally was able to deploy, but before we shipped out, some a-hole in Iraq decided it was a good time to invade Kuwait and our entire brigade got diverted to the Persian Gulf for what became Desert Shield and later Desert Storm. Never got another opportunity to see Norway.
You got desert exercises instead which is a whole other complex set of skills.
Up most RESPECT FOR all you men and women in the R.M..... N.M✌🏻🇬🇧👍🏻
"If you think this is cold, wait till you get to Norway", I wonder if the lads still hear that today !
Did my first Norway in `84 at based at Elver G, (the windy city) My first lived example of a katabatic wind.
How thoughtful of our friends in the EU to build it there on their world tour back in 1940.
Back in the 80`s, Four Two and Four Five were doing thirteen weeks up there every year. The knowledge base in the Corps was huge at the time .
I loved it, the arctic has a pity-less beauty common to many desert environs.
Extremely satisfying to meet the challenges and more than that, eventually to excel at them.
Down here in oz the survival problems faced in our huge deserts are quite similar, which at first may seem counter-intuitive.
Water, shelter and mobility. And without the requisite skillset, you will not last very long in either environment.
I have a few oppos who settled in Norway and one lives right up at the top. I moved to Western Australia twenty years back and at times, we both have the same daytime temp of 40 degrees C.
Except mine has a + in front and his has a - !
Total Respect to these Royal Marines from a Royal Welch Fusilier, wish i had done this.
You can hear the shiver in his voice when he talks about cold water shock 😂 some PTSD that.
This is very nice to watch. They come here to learn for a period and consider it extreme. It was just another day at work when I was in Øverbygd for a year during my service. Sure, it was cold, but you get used to it (sort of). Just a matter of accepting the suck and move on. Greetings from ex Norwegian Army.
Cracking video, some excellent stills as well BZ LH James Clarke
Would love to join in the future, be proud to be part of something so good
These videos are amazing! I wish CANADIAN Armed forces would do videos like this.
They can’t, the CAF would rather promote the fact they are more interested in the lgbtqwffg community, natives, and anyone fresh off the boat than soldiers actually capable of war fighting......
@@AirplaneDoctor_ so sad. I want to be proud of our CAF. I am for the front lines but is makes me sad how far our forces have gone. This is excellent promotions. Wish we would.
@@InstinctiveFirearmReviews Be proud of your forces anyway mate. Civvies like dressing up armies in the West like summer camps these days. Their purpose is to engage the enemy and they are professionals at it regardless of the romantic ideas some advertising agencies have.
@@callumwilliams1449 I am proud of the men and women of CAF. I'm just sad at how much our government has cut from the CAF. They should be investing like UK, etc are. Yet they keep pulling funding and its sad.
They are not cutting funding. Funding has actually increased significantly compared to other fiscal years in the past 2 decades. And no, inclusiveness is not making us incapable of warfighting...
Phenomenal guys. Really great to see that the Royal Marines is sticking with a single image to portray exactly what they do as commandos, instead of some the legacy stuff that had no mention of operations but instead: it was all about fun and games. Well, all I can say is, there was no messing around there - mature, operationally motivated people that are clearly determined to maximise their effect as commandos. As the Commanding Officer rightly said at the end, being employed as commandos behind enemy lines in small teams must be a genuinely exciting prospect, acting as a force multiplier and a thorn in the side of any adversary.
The production on these latest royal marine videos is top notch 👌🏻
Holy shit…. What a superb documentary. The photography and audio was a different level. Really enjoyed it👏👏
Awesome video. Hoofing!
The Arctic is my playground...... Fresh air all day.
This video is articulated extremely well gives you a good insight into the Royal Navy. Hats off
Great video! The production of these is the best I've seen .... this is how you do recruitment
I'm convinced the Royal Marines are the best trained fighting force in the world. I just love how they operate and have totally adapted on ALL fronts of the modern battle space. The US could really learn so much from these dudes.
Anyway, I would be honored to fight along side the RMC.
Much respect from a US Marine.
just because they may be better than US forces, does not make them "the best fighting force in the world" lol. I know its hard for you guys to comprehend the fact that the world has over 190 countries.....but try.
@@rohitb5834
It is not just the training that makes Royal Marine Commandos. It is their history and experience that cannot be bought or trained and is earned.
@@rohitb5834 You're the saltiest Indian I've ever seen in my life 😂 You still pissed you're never getting all that gold back that we took?
This is such high quality, I'm amazed.
Royal Marines PR machine is amazing. This is great stuff. If I was of recruiting age I'd be so jazzed by this.
Nothing burns like the cold!
Loved the editing on this 👍 about time we had someone who knew what they were doing ( well done lads 👏)
My father would of done this many years ago , he was a qualified sniper and ski instructor, apparently he and his troop taught Lord Mount baton how to ski out there , RIP DAD
Royal Marines stepping it up big recently in the past few years. They've gone from looking very conventional to Gucci gear and everybody looking more and more like a super special operations unit. Big change from when I saw them train in 2016. Clearly getting ready for China.
Royal Marines are commandos which in effect makes them special operations.
@@bighands69 special operations doesn't mean special forces. They are just elite marines. EOD is a special operation for example.
@@bighands69 They now look as elite as they've always been. RM commandos have always been revered Army-wide as super soldiers. And when you see them in the field-- they are absolutely fucking shit hot. They just now have the kit to match the skillset.
Would love to join in the future. This is great recruitment material. Interesting ye mentioned the northern gateway opening up will be important commercially
Yes! 30 commando 👏 Amazing vid guys can't wait to join up
Come back any time! You are always welcome here!
Thank You so much
I couldn't do it and thats why we love these guys,,the best of the best anywhere in the World
Just so sick everything about that video!
Excellent presentation and production. Arctic warfare is fascinating.
Superb videography
If I had a chance to do life over again, I’d want to fulfil my dream of joining the UK military. I’m too old and unfit now and due to personal issues I was never able to do it. Still think about it to this day. This video is top notch and really shows just how capable the RM are, and not to underestimate them just because of their small numbers. The production on this video is way above all the other branches of the UK armed forces as well which I hope gets people fired up to join.
“Causing absolute mayhem”
Nicely put.
Do I miss being a "Rope Chucker" in Norway? For whatever the duration of this video was I was back in the Arctic. It was only 26 years ago! Keep up the good work lads.
Tip of the day the spear - American. Pointy end of the stick - British. 🤣🤣 Incredible photography in this video!
Absolutely awesome 👏
Great video. Great people. British expat here in Canada and an ex-Met Pol officer and Cadet. Two old school pals from Birmingham were in the Royal Marines (J. Connolly and R. Woodward). I personally love -15C to about -20C, that's a lovely cool day. And the snow is a beautiful thing. But climbing that ice face looks pretty mean business - you wouldn't want fall on your back-side from that height!
excellent edit, well done.
Walked up and down the North Cape in cold and harsh weather conditions....so can imagine that when giving orders and work under the radar is another level of determination.
Amazing video. Very very professional
Looks like a good holiday!
brilliant
I enjoyed so much! great video!!
I get the idea that the Royal Marines hold the highest possible standard in all ways. They seem to get the respect of military people all over the world.
A superb film. 👍👍
Great production 👏🏻
Awesome, just awesome!
Top class
Video is truely beautiful
They go through all this just to come home and be left on the streets and forgotten about most of the time. It's a good job they learn how to survive ain't it... Thank you for your service. 🇬🇧
You are making up nonsense.
Amazing content as always! 🇬🇧 That commanding officer chap looks like what family guy always portray British guys as looking like haha
Royal Marines Hollywood style !
No C G I just a big pointy stick !
Since a little one I have always been fasinated and intrigued by this regiment. So I tried to expose myself to everything I can. I realised I was in my prime. On the edge of life or death and that’s why I will be joining as soon as possible. I’m currently 19
Great video! Great production 👌
