Royal Marines prepare for deployment with night reconnaissance mission

Royal Marines from 47 Commando have been conducting training exercises in the Solent to prepare some of the youngest marines for their first deployment with the corps.

The exercise, part of the Landing Craft 3s Course, involves operating offshore raiding craft and inflatable raiding craft and culminates in a close target reconnaissance mission conducted at night.

The course spans 12 weeks and covers various aspects, from checking the mechanics of the craft to understanding tidal streams and their impact on missions at sea.
