Commandos Brigade
The 3rd Commando Brigade was one of four original Brigades of Commandos that were formed in 1943. Each Commando Brigade was made up from two Army Commando Units and two Royal Marine Commando Units.
The 3rd Commando Brigade Royal Marines is the only remaining Brigade that is active today at the forefront of all of Britain's Active Service Operations.
The Royal Marines Commandos are the sea soldiers of the Royal Navy, at the cutting edge of Britain's maritime power projection.
As Expeditionary the Royal Marines Commandos are on permanent readiness for amphibious operations anywhere in the world.
In concert with the Royal Navy's expanding fleet of modern specialist amphibious ships, they are proving to be the force of choice for many of today's crises.

The Commando's Troops
40 Commando RM, 42 Commando RM, and 45 Commando RM are the senior fighting companies of the 3rd Commando Brigade Royal Marines.
The Commando's troops are noted for their boundless enthusiasm and their professionalism, initiative, fitness, attention to detail ie. observe, listen and remember. That way they never miss a trick, if there is a kink in their enemies armour then they will find it.
Common sense (common dog) and adaptability gives the Commando's troops the flexibility to adjust to the many changing situations of the warfare they come up against.

Commando Logistic Regiment Royal Marines
Commando Logistic Regiment Royal Marines are the commandos that provide intimate support to 3 cdo Brigade in order to meet the challenges of the day to day support of the 21st Century battlefield.
Their convoys supply the front line troops when they are in action. No matter where the commando troops are fighting they can always rely on the Royal Marine Commando logistics to get their supplies through.
They run Combat logistic Patrols across the length and breadth of the combat operational zones delivering medical support to the front line.
Their Equipment Support Squadron Engineers are equally as widespread, keeping the task force on the road and at fighting strength; all of the time their job is increasing in complexity.
