Royal Marines from 30 Commando IX have been operating in the freezing waters of Northern Norway as they conduct a beach assault exercise.
Shore Reconnaissance Troop (SRT), tasked with conducting beach reconnaissance ahead of an Amphibious Task Group landing, disembarked from their inflatable raiding craft and demonstrated an aggressive, rapid, and highly effective break-contact procedure when they were later contacted, culminating in an extraction-under-fire serial.
SRT are specialists within the Surveillance Reconnaissance Squadron, and form a close-knit, disciplined team capable of operating in the harshest environments around the globe – with a specific focus on Arctic warfare and maritime reconnaissance.
