Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Royal Marines of X-Ray Company, 45 Commando during a ground domination patrol in Afghanistan in 2009.

For a long time Britain’s experts in cold weather warfare, the men of 45 Commando, have spent most of the past decade surrounded by sand; either on operations in Iraq or Afghanistan. However last autumn saw the Commando return to their natural habitat and the Unit deployed on an amphibious deployment to the Mediterranean (COUGAR 2012). 45 Commando spent a year as the UK’s Very high readiness Lead Commando Unit before handing this baton to 42 Commando in May this year.

45 Commando have now taken up the role of the Standing Task Commando, deploying its Troops for training tasks and contingency commitments around the globe alongside other nations armed forces and security organisations in Africa, Europe and the Middle East.

In addition the Commmando has assumed the responsibility for the RN Ships Force Protection task across the Fleet in addition to supporting 3 Commando Brigade led exercises and directed taskings.
