Summary
[edit]DescriptionRoyal Marines on Exercise Serpent Rock 2020 MOD 45167375.jpg |
English: Pictured are Royal Marines of P Squadron, 43 Commando, as they manoeuvre through a cave system during an assault on an objective within the dark and winding caves of the famous Rock of Gibraltar. Many of the caves are pitch black and very disorientating, making it the perfect place to practice Close Quarters Battle (CQB) techniques in a complex and difficult environment.
Over 80 of these highly trained Commandos spent 2 weeks in early November 2020 on Exercise Serpent Rock honing their skills with a night-time vertical assault and dawn attack followed by an abseil extraction back down ‘The Rock’. This annual exercise sees the Royal Marines making best use of Gibraltar’s unique terrain, undertaking amphibious and cliff assaults, close quarter battle in urban environments and within the network of tunnels the Rock is famous for, as well as patrolling its streets, thoroughfares and the narrow alleyways and passages that pepper this British overseas territory.
