Exercise Crazy Trip 2009
Second battalion of commandos (2 Cdo), was preparing yesterday to make a leap up off from the operational base of Den Helder.
The day was devoted to training in amphibious landings.
Lieutenant-Colonel Closset, commanding officer of 2 Cdo, talks about the constraints an amphibious landing: "For an amphibious landing, there is a whole series of parameters that come into play. First, we must have the necessary resources in the right place at the right time. Then, we must respond to the challenge imposed by the weather: the tides, wind speed, sea state .. That aspect is a challenge particularly difficult to meet because by nature unpredictable. Finally, it is also to maintain the secrecy and discretion of the preparation to ensure the element of surprise during the execution of the operation.
