These Royal Marines of the Surveillance and Reconnaissance Squadron (SRS) are often the first on the ground, often operating far behind enemy lines. They are the eyes of the UK Commando Force. Filmed in Norway as part of #SteadfastDefender24 #NordicReponse24 🇳🇴
An awe-inspiring Arctic scene for the #SteadfastDefender24 Carrier Strike Group.
Whilst continuing with NATO exercises in the High North, our ships were treated to some incredible displays of the aurora borealis.
For many onboard, a once-in-a-lifetime moment.

Today, HQ UK Commando Force hosted Brigadier Terje Bruøygard, the Norwegian Commmmander of the North Brigade, at Stonehouse. He discussed upcoming exercises with Brigadier Duncan Forbes and the further opportunities to partner bilaterally and as members of The Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF) and NATO.
In December, elements of the UK Commando Force, led by 148 Bty, deployed on RFA Mounts Bay to Ex FREEZING WINDS alongside the SRS to train with Finnish SOF, 2nd RECON U.S. Marines, and other NATO Allied SOF Command (SOFCOM), allowing the teams to develop skills, understanding and build relationships.
Merry Christmas from all of us in HMS DAUNTLESS! While most of the Ships Company are enjoying a well-earned break at home, our Duty Watch remain on board keeping the Ship safe. A small part of the many RN personnel working on Christmas at home and overseas. ❄️🎁🎄
