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.
