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.
