'Per Mare, Per Terram' By Sea, By Land
The Royal Marines are the UK's Commando Force and the Royal Navy's own amphibious troops. They are an elite fighting force, optimised for worldwide rapid response and are able to deal with a wide spectrum of threats and security challenges.
Fully integrated with the Royal Navy's amphibious ships, they can be deployed globally without host nation support and projected from the sea to conduct operations on land.
Life in the Royal Marines is unique. There’s a bond between Commandos which comes from living, working and socialising together. Supporting each other is at the heart of their ethos and is why they’re able to be the first to understand, the first to adapt and respond, and the first to overcome.
Since 1664, only the toughest have earned the right to wear the Green Beret. The Royal Marines – it’s a state of mind.
Marines are experts in getting the job done, whatever the conditions. Against the odds. In tropical heat and extreme cold. Whether there's a need for speed, or a need for stamina. Why? Because they're all highly skilled commandos who've been through some of the most rigorous training on the planet.
A key component of the Royal Navy's maritime security function, they provide a unique capability and are experts in ship-to-ship operations.
Earning the green beret and embarking on some of the British military’s toughest operations takes a unique set of personal qualities and skills. Royal Marines Commandos are the ultimate Swiss Army Knife soldier and take influences from a proud heritage, developing through an unflinching commitment to their ethos.
