Trounced on home turf: British Royal Marine commandos force US Marines into humiliating surrender halfway through five-day war training exercise in Mojave desert
  • British forces took part in a five-day mock battle at the US Marine Corps' Twentynine Palms base in California
  • Combatants used training ammunition along with hi-tech simulators for heavier firepower like artillery
  • Seeing no opportunity for victory, American combatants asked for the exercise to be 'reset' halfway through
Royal Marines commandos 'dominated' US troops and forced them into a humiliating surrender just days into a mass training exercise in the Mojave desert, it has been revealed today.

British forces took part in a five-day mock battle at the US Marine Corps' Twentynine Palms base in southern California, one of the largest military training areas in the world, and achieved a decisive victory against their American counterparts.

The Royal Marines, along with allied forces from Canada, the Netherlands and the UAE, destroyed or rendered inoperable nearly every US asset and finished the exercise holding more than 65 per cent of the training area, after beginning with less than 20 per cent.

Combatants used paintball-style training ammunition, which fires with reduced pressure and velocity, along with hi-tech simulators for heavier firepower like artillery, and live ammo on expansive ranges.

Seeing no opportunity for victory, American combatants asked for the exercise to be 'reset' halfway through the five-day exercise, having taken significant casualties from British commandos.

Too much focus on woke bullshit rather than readiness. I don’t know why these sorry ass military leaders don’t have balls to speak up. And the ones that do lose their jobs like that one marine LT col who got court martialed. Soldiers don’t have time for politics. We are in the business of war. That means killing people and destroying things. Diversity, social equity etc all goes out the window. Hate seeing this as a soldier

Have you reported to the verification thread???

 
American arrogance knows no bounds.

Then when they get humbled, they wonder why. We have all the money, and we have all of the toys. But at the end of the day, our arrogance always comes back to bite us in the tail.

Retards cant read. This was international special forces vs normal US Marines. You act like they took out Seal Team Six or some Army Rangers. This is the NBA equivalent to an International All Star team vs the Kentucky Wildcats. If they didn't win all the training they got from their American counterparts was a waste.

This is the US seeing if their standard forces can take on the worlds best. Despite the loss the US armed forces will change, , adapt and improve metrics next time on the battlefield.

Don't geek yourself into thinking taking on the US Military is an easy task. They will kill your leadership, take your women, and not give a single fuck doing it.

Iraq and Afghanistan aren't what you think they were. Those military contractors got paid out the asshole. America didnt lose shit (manpower) and gained more military customers in the process.

Win-Win!!
 
I need to read this thread later and get a clear understanding.

Can we get some military fam to come in and offer some opinions?

Which part of the British Royal Marines are special forces? The amount of salt coming from some people is laughable.

Ok, so are you saying that our Marines (the guys whom are supposed to be super tough and gung-ho) got their asses kicked into their helmets by British Special Forces to the point where they cried, "Please leave us alone!"

Bruh, they could have done exercises against our own Navy Seals Team and found that out. They went through with that exercise because they thought they could win it. It doesn't matter how you spin it: They got their asses WHOOPED!

Again, I stick by my statement.
 
First off, it's The Daily Mail. As conservative and jingoistic as it can get.

2/ It's a wargame. My first question for the US Marines is was it scripted and who was the opfor (Opposing Force)? If the Opfor went off script, what did the leadership learn. Do not forget the US general who went off script two or three months before the Iraq invasion in 2003. He predicted/showed that an insurgency would be the way to go against line infantry. He lost his job and the US lost more than 4,000 of its people because it had its assumptions and went with them.

3/ While both units are called "Marines" and the US created its Marine Corps as a copycat of the British Marines, they have different purposes. Yes, both emphasise going over the beach, the training is different: It takes six months to become a Royal Marine and it takes 12 weeks (correction from eight) to become a US Marine. Add on a few more courses, like combatives, like an advanced infantry course, and you are approaching five or six months. How is that an indicator that one is tougher than the other? One can't assume that just someone has done all the elite training AND has straight A's in school means they are the best. The best way to explain it: "Men In Black" #1. Will Smith got the job against some real Boy Scouts...

4/ Stop comparing apples to oranges AND start comparing apples to oranges. What do I mean? Man to man, who's better is BS. 24 SEALs attacking four men in one house in Abbotobad, yeah we know what will happen. But four SEALS against 24 riflemen? What do you think will happen? Illiterate Vietnamese peasants with only a basic understanding of tactics in the Viet Cong had embarrassed a superpower between 1965 to 1966 but was almost completely wiped out after three years of fighting (1968). The North Vietnamese Army took on an even greater role after Tet - May 1968. The same people, different training. South Vietnamese Marines, Airborne and Rangers were more than a match for the VC and NVA. The regular units were mostly a waste of time. All were Vietnamese. The difference? Motivation. Training. Ideology.

5/ A Royal Marine Commando - roughly a batallion is not quite as strong on paper as a US Marine Batalion and is out numbered two to one. The "tail" of US units is a force multiplier. The Royal Marines' knowledge that all he's got is with him - is a force multiplier.

6/ The whole point of the exercise was to expose weaknesses. Who ran to the media and for what purpose? If the Royal Marines did it (I'm almost certain they did, or at least someone within the British military) surely they're not going to assume their shit don't stink.

7/ This is going to go bad. Either it will become more scripted - and make the officers even more conformist or it will become a free for all, and no-one learns any thing, I beat the swamps in Louisiana for three years as OPFor when I was enlisted.

I never trained with them but I did the SAS. They was like some force of nature I had never seen before. It was cold as fuck when we trained with them in the mountains in the UK and I was early in my military career. I later found out who they were. Wouldn't want to cross them, ever. Some of them mfs are asylum candidates. :smh:

Did Britain’s Royal Marines Really Crush The U.S. Marine Corps?

https%3A%2F%2Fspecials-images.forbesimg.com%2Fimageserve%2F6182f315add0799f72b82194%2FBritish-soldiers-wearing-scuba-mask-holding-rifles-on-boat--Union-Jack-flag-in%2F960x0.jpg%3Ffit%3Dscale

Britain’s Royal Marines crushed U.S. Marines during a recent exercise, according to British media.

“U.S. forces asked for a ‘reset’ half way into the five-day war fighting exercise, having suffered significant simulated casualties,” claims Britain’s Daily Telegraph newspaper. “At one point in the battle, the commandos’ ‘kill board,’ an intelligence assessment of the level of damage inflicted upon enemy equipment and units, had a tick against almost every American asset, indicating it had been deemed destroyed or rendered inoperable.”


But was this really a contest of martial prowess, or a battle between two very different types of marines?

The simulated battle took place during Exercise Green Dagger, at the U.S. Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center at Twentynine Palms, California. The exercise involved 500 Royal Marines from 40 Commando and other British units, as well as 120 Dutch marines from the Netherlands Marine Corps, British defense media reported last week. The exercise was designed to prepare U.S. Marine units for deployment overseas, as well as allow Britain to test a new Royal Marine reorganization.

“The Royal Marines' success was achieved by targeting the U.S. headquarters and valuable equipment, paralyzing counterattacks from the Americans,” the Telegraph said. “The exercise concluded with a last minute US assault which was repelled, leaving the Royal Marines in control of over 65 per cent of the entire area, having started with less than 20 per cent.”

The U.S. Marine Corps did not respond to queries from Forbes at press time. But the British press lost no time in boasting of the battle, with headlines that used words like “surrender,” “humiliate” and “dominate.” The tone sounded as if Britain had revenged its defeats at Saratoga and Yorktown during the American Revolution, or got back at the Yanks for becoming the dominant partner in the Anglo-American “special relationship” after World War II.

However, the truth is probably a bit less dramatic. For starters, we don’t know how the exercise was conducted. What was the scenario, the balance of forces, and the objectives of the exercise? The British and Dutch marines were supported by artillery and aircraft. Did the U.S. Marines have equivalent support, such as naval gunfire?

But the real problem with assessing relative martial prowess is that in warfare, a mismatch between the combatants is more the rule than the exception. In this case, the fact that the British and U.S. forces are both called “marines” misses a crucial difference. The U.S. Marine Corps is a unique organization: a nearly 200,000-strong force that’s essentially a smaller, more mobile version of the U.S. Army (and is considered one of the six branches of the U.S. military, alongside the Army, Navy and Air Force).

But in many nations around the world, marines are small forces used for amphibious operations or securing naval bases (such as Russia’s Naval Infantry). For Britain, the Royal Marines are actually commandos, which makes them special operations forces. If British marines embarrassed American marines, that would not be an unexpected outcome for when elite units fight regular forces. If U.S. Delta Force commandos – or U.S. Marine Force Recon units – fought a regular British infantry battalion, the same result might occur.

Regardless of whether the comparison is fair, the U.S. Marines will have to grin and bear it. For Britain, whose military has been shrinking for years under merciless budget cuts, it’s a bit of rare good news. Faced with global commitments and diminishing resources, Britain is creating two Littoral Response Groups (LRG), which are amphibious task forces centered that include Royal Marines. If nothing else, Exercise Green Dagger suggests Britain’s marines are still a force not to be trifled with.

No shit, they should have.

The Corps of Royal Marines (RM) is an amphibious light infantry and also one of the five fighting arms of the Royal Navy. The marines can trace their origins back to the formation of the English Army's "Duke of York and Albany's maritime regiment of Foot" at the grounds of the Honourable Artillery Company on 28 October 1664.

As a highly specialized and adaptable elite light infantry force, the Royal Marines are trained for rapid deployment worldwide and capable of dealing with a wide range of threats. The Royal Marines are organised into a light infantry brigade (3 Commando Brigade) and a number of separate units, including 47 Commando (Raiding Group) Royal Marines, and a company strength commitment to the Special Forces Support Group. The Corps operates in all environments and climates, though particular expertise and training is spent on amphibious warfare, arctic warfare, mountain warfare, expeditionary warfare, and its commitment to the UK's Rapid Reaction Forces.

The simulated battle took place during Exercise Green Dagger, at the U.S. Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center at Twentynine Palms, California. The exercise involved 500 Royal Marines from 40 Commando and other British units, as well as 120 Dutch marines from the Netherlands Marine Corps, British defense media reported last week.

Yep. Special Forces against normal soldiers win almost everytime......lol except in Op-4 going against normal air Force troops in Commando Warrior lol (ahem some don't know that school, I understand so how about Foal Eagle?)
 
Its not a fair fight. The royal marines are an elite branch of the British Armed services. Like the American equivalent of the Navy Seals or Green Berets. The US marines are their own branch. The Us Marines are tough. But not built go up against the most elite special forces the brits have to offer.
 
Will you cock suckers STOP confusing

I was in the Marines. The average marine doesn't get any special battlefield training. They are not elite commandos like the British Royal Marines.
Didn't the marines use to argue that they didn't believe in special ops designations because all marines were supposed to be equally good or something to that effect?
 
I saw the British military 30 years ago in Saudi Arabia and yeah them muthafuckas weren't no joke back then and I'm pretty sure at this point there serious now.
