The Royal Marines speed march from Exmouth to Lympstone Commando Camp through the village of Lympstone, Devon. £1st May 2014 to celebrate 350 years of service to the nation.
Better than the Belgian Special Operations Regiment, Better than the French 9th Marine Infantry Brigade, Better than the German Sea Battalion, Better than the U.S. Marines, Best in the world!
As the son of an old bootneck who served in 45 commando during ww2 and was ststioned at Lympstone I am proud of him and what he and his comrades achieved between 1939 and 1945. The finest of them all.
The Royal Surry regiment was raised and given a royal charter on Putney heath in 1664, they were sent aboard ship to help Queen Charlotte of Portugal, on returning to England a contingent of soldiers stayed on board under a Captain Villiers and the contingent became known as The Villiers Marines, and the Royal Marines were born.
@@bartram33 As you rightly say they were a Regiment of Foot, 2nd to be exact, But Captain Villiers contingent staid on board and were later called marines, the Duke of York raise his regiment on Putney Heath and recieved a Royal Charter from the Crown of which Captain Villers was a part of.
When living in Exton (which is the closest village to the camp) I used to enjoy watching the recruits training in the estuary mud whilst being shouted at by the Instructors.Use to get a free fire work display too watching from the cycle path.
Impressive to keep it up for some time, however soldiers of the Light Devision march at that pace as their double time, at 180 paces per minute, as their normal marching pace was 140 paces per minute, compared to the rest of the army’s pace of 120.
The Spanish Legion's march step is faster than the Spanish military standard, being also 160-180 steps per minute in contrast to the usual 90 steps per minute.
Royal Marines and Paras always look like someone you wouldn't mess with......super-fit guys, all of 'em. The Argies destroyed most of the helicopters when they sunk the Atlantic Conveyer during the Falklands campaign, so the Marines and Paras marched 50 miles with all their kit, and still dicked 'em.
It’s a speed March marching and breaking into double time combined to make a speed march, which is designed to cover longer distances as a large group of men.
These are the figuting forces thst protecting us . Or are they being used to protect just the rich and there assets abroad . These guys iam proud of . But the government that tell them were to go iam not so proud of. Its time we changed from the government option wehave to real leaders that protect our shores
@@douglasstocks9698 Yes we all know they do have specific definitions of what they mean, but TABing and YOMPing are both general terms used by the Army and Marines respectively for a weighted march.
God bless all Royal Marines well done to you guys.
Killers of children
I lived in that pub in the early 90’s, and went to lympstone primary school. I later joined the corps myself. Great video.

How about the Duke of York and Albanys maritime regiment of foot. Or the trained band of London?

Did this in1980 with 135 troop
I'm nackered just watching them
They do 9 miles with full kit in 90 minutes as part of their commando tests
Speed March? Thats double time or about the pace that 'Green Jackets' marched at, ;) Good effort lads. S&B
RGJ........................was fastest so been told anybody know any who's faster ?
Brilliant... Just totally brilliant
BOOM SHAKKALAKA BOOM SHAKKALAKA
Apparently the speed march was invented to get out of Lympstone as quickly as possible......... true story.. .honest.
We used to 5 miles in full battle order at the Guards depot Pirbright.
Bit faster than a MUP's Shuffle, that I have been in.
Why did you edit it?
The hardest of the hard....
All back in time to usual duties and administration. Deep joy 😅

Not a speed march. Thats double time.
I think that equates to standard marching speed of the Light Infantry.
... it was probably close to opening time.
And a 'hit me vest' in sight
Infantry quick march isn't the same

Shocking how they can call this a march, it is a jog.
Tabbing 🧐

Iike to see you doing a speed March with 22lbs kit and gun over 9 miles in 90 minutes.
@@matthewjames2846 that would be their 30 mile March in 8 hrs with kit. Two completely different things.

Not as fast as the quick scarper from Afghanistan 😂
u lot should coup the liars
Boring the Paras would have beaten them!
cannon fodder
That would be the army....these are Royal Marines.
@@matthewhortop7828your absolutely right, the best fighting force in the uk armed forces excepting sbs and sas.
You clown
@@markwaters7215The Royal Artillery have taken out more enemy targets than the lot of them put together .Just stating a fact
The video is To far away to really see anything
Move your face closer to the screen.
No need to thank me.
Look a bit slow. Not many scots then.
Oh, give it a rest.
Probably too busy moaning somewhere about independence
