Who are the Royal Marines?

The Royal Marines are the Royal Navy's amphibious infantry and the United Kingdom's commandos. They are a small but powerful Corps, operating in the air, on land and at sea.

They remain in a state of constant readiness, poised to take immediate action in any emergency. As a spearhead force of amphibious shock troops, they are second to none.

The Green Beret

Royal Marines wear the Green Beret to indicate that they have attended a 30 week training course and a physically demanding set of tests of endurance, by displaying courage, determination, teamwork and good spirits in adversity.

To become a Royal Marine, you must prove in training that you have the necessary qualities and skills: fitness, commitment, discipline and self-confidence. You'll get some of this from training but you must be fit and determined from the start.
