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.

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 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?

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.

God bless the Royal Marines. Greetings from a Dutch Marine. Love working with the Royal Marines from the UK

The commandos are taking this to a whole new level, looks like they know something is coming...

Pressure cooperation with you Britain, Love and respect from your northern Allie 🇳🇴🤝🇬🇧

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.

3:01 some say that moustache alone as had 14 confirmed kills

I've always liked the Brits. Greetings from Norway.

I must, say, im very proud to have these guys fighting to protect us ever day 🙏

The kit now compared to even 20 years ago is quite rightly superb. Excellent soldiers with a great ethos.

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.

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.

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

Greetings from Norway, glad to have you as our ally!

Royal marines are some fucking beasts! I am proud that they train alongside us in the harsh Norwegian winter climate. Greetigs from Norway🐺

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.

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.

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. 🇿🇦👏🏻

Each and everyone of You, Deserves the Absolute Respect of each and Everyone of us. Thankyou.

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.

Always happy to have our British brethren over for some training.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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 🇬🇧

Greetings from Missouri, USA. That was awesome!!!!

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.

figured id look at the videos after the video i saw 08/10/22 and wow this is incredible cinematography holy s***

This is fucking brilliant. The production team are clearly top dollar and worth every penny

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

Stunning video and well informative, can’t wait to apply in some years when I get my fitness up and some knowledge.

Without a doubt the marines have won me over the arny at this point

Would love to join in the future, be proud to be part of something so good

Best in the world

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.

Total Respect to these Royal Marines from a Royal Welch Fusilier, wish i had done this.

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 !!

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.

Up most RESPECT FOR all you men and women in the R.M..... N.M✌🏻🇬🇧👍🏻

I hope their Social media reps are reading this comments.. Fuckin eh boys, outstanding video

The production on these latest royal marine videos is top notch 👌🏻

Another top quality production showing the RM’s at their best. BZ’s.

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.

Awesome video. Hoofing!

You can hear the shiver in his voice when he talks about cold water shock 😂 some PTSD that.

Thank You so much

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

"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 - !

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.

Yes! 30 commando 👏 Amazing vid guys can't wait to join up

These videos are amazing! I wish CANADIAN Armed forces would do videos like this.

Superb videography

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.

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

Great video! The production of these is the best I've seen .... this is how you do recruitment

I couldn't do it and thats why we love these guys,,the best of the best anywhere in the World

Great Filmmaking and Soundesign, a lot of other state organizations should watch this and learn from it instead of pushing out promo videos that look like from the early 2000s. Good job!

Holy shit…. What a superb documentary. The photography and audio was a different level. Really enjoyed it👏👏

The Arctic is my playground...... Fresh air all day.

This is such high quality, I'm amazed.

This video is articulated extremely well gives you a good insight into the Royal Navy. Hats off

Come back any time! You are always welcome here!

I don't even want to join þe marines, but damn, it makes me feel patriotic.

Would love to join in the future. This is great recruitment material. Interesting ye mentioned the northern gateway opening up will be important commercially

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.

Top class

excellent edit, well done.

Royal Marines PR machine is amazing. This is great stuff. If I was of recruiting age I'd be so jazzed by this.

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.

Nothing burns like the cold! Loved the editing on this 👍 about time we had someone who knew what they were doing ( well done lads 👏)

Rocking

Tip of the day the spear - American. Pointy end of the stick - British. 🤣🤣 Incredible photography in this video!

Excellent presentation and production. Arctic warfare is fascinating.

“Causing absolute mayhem” Nicely put.

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 so sick everything about that video!

Absolutely awesome 👏

brilliant

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. 🇬🇧

A superb film. 👍👍

Looks like a good holiday!

Top Guns!

Royal Marines Hollywood style ! No C G I just a big pointy stick !

Video was made by RN photographers so no big budget civilian production costs and it's still head and shoulders above anything they could have done. MOD take note.

lovely

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.

Great production 👏🏻

Excellent. Well done Royal. 👍🏻

Amazing video. Very very professional

Awesome, just awesome!
