Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Viking BvS10 Amphibious Armoured All-Terrain of the Royal Marine Armoured Support Group, cross Lulworth Range in Dorset.

The armoured punch of the Royal Marines have completed their training to prepare them for the Navy’s key deployment of 2013.

Vikings of the Armoured Support Group spent a week on the ranges at Lulworth in Dorset to hone their shooting skills before joining the Cougar 13 deployment.

Cougar, which begins in August, is the annual work-out for the UK’s Response Force Task Group – a combination of amphibious ships, escorts, support ships, helicopter carriers, Royal Marines and air power which is able to respond at short notice to global events should the government require it.

All 16 Vikings will be joining the deployment, operating from RFA Mounts Bay for the duration of the autumn-long deployment which will take the task group to the Mediterranean and east of Suez.

The Royal Marines have operated the vehicles since 2005 and spent four years in Afghanistan supporting the Allied mission there. But with the Corps now finished its duties in Helmand – 40 Commando were the last to deploy to the country and returned this spring – the emphasis is back on the Royal Marines’ traditional business: amphibious warfare.
