Aprašymas

In this fully illustrated study, a renowned authority on Britain's Royal Marines Commandos surveys one of the most transformational periods in the history of this elite unit.

From the dangerous humanitarian and security mission Operation Haven in the aftermath of the 1990-91 Gulf War, through battles in Africa, Iraq and Afghanistan to Kyiv and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Commandos have been frequently called upon. These deployments have led to new uniforms, weapons, equipment, tactics and organization, and ultimately the formation of the Future Commando Force in 2020.

It is those changes that are at the forefront of this book, in which authoritative text and vivid specially commissioned artwork convey the evolution of the Royal Marines Commandos' uniforms, insignia, weapons and equipment since 1991. Be it in landing craft, small boats, helicopters, parachutes, jetpacks or by climbing and yomping, they appear where their adversaries least expect them, but first, they must pass the Commando Course and earn the coveted green beret.
