Product Description
From "sea soldiers" to commandos, over the past three centuries Royal Marines have evolved from sailors who could fight on land to an elite force that can fight anywhere. The Royal Marines set the standard for all the world's special operations units to follow. In this book, Scheppler provides a brief history of Britian's distinguished special operations unit before describing the Royal Marines' support and specialist divisions. Weapons, equipment, and vehicles are discussed, as are training, recent missions, and humanitarian efforts.
