K’s Royal Marines have reportedly handed a decisive defeat to their US counterparts during exercises in California’s Mojave Desert, with the Americans losing so badly they had asked for a time-out halfway into the mock battle.

A commando of Royal Marines deployed to the US Marine Corps facility in Twentynine Palms last month for Green Dagger 2021 exercises, among other things in order to test a new force structure. After training with the Dutch, Emirati and Canadian colleagues, they were pitted against the USMC in a five-day fighting exercise.

The 40 Commando proclaimed on Saturday they were “victorious,” offering no further details.

Victorious! 🏆 triumph in part of multinational team on Exercise Green Dagger 21. The 5-day Multi-domain war-fighting exercise concluded with an epic close quarters finale in Mojave Desert.

I think that it's interesting that two other related stories...

"US Army not ready to ‘fight tonight,’ internal survey suggests, as Pentagon insists everything is fine" https://www.dcweekly.org/usa/538530-army-ready-fight-survey/

and,

"As report reveals more US soldiers died from suicide than Covid, US major general complains army won’t allow her French manicure" https://www.dcweekly.org/usa/537624-us-major-general-nails/

...have already been taken down. "Sorry, this page doesn't exist" Uh-huh. Not even an archived copy.

I already found the articles. I just find it odd that the links they listed on their own site don't seem work anymore. Almost as if they didn't want people looking at them.

Ah well I was interested in reading them to see what they were about but of course the links were broken.
