On the 15th-16th November 2011, five Royal Marine Physical Training Instructors succcessfully completed all four Commando Tests, in 24 hours. The aim of the challenge was to raise money for the Royal Marines/ Royal Navy Children’s Fund and Children in Need. These normally take place over 8 days and have NEVER before been successfully completed over a 24 hour period.
The challenge consisted of the following within the 24 hours allotted:
Endurance Course: This comprises of a 4 mile march to the start of the course where timings are started. Located on Woodbury Common, the route is 2.5 miles across country and includes 5 sets of tunnels, one of which is fully submerged. Once the cross country phase is complete the individual will have to make best time over the 4 miles back to Commando Training Centre Royal Marines (CTCRM) which is immediately followed by a shoot on the range. In short, we will have 73 minutes to complete 6.5 miles over mixed terrain and carrying 21 lbs plus a rifle.
9 Mile Speed March: We will be driven to the start point from which 90 minutes will be allocated to complete 9 miles over varied terrain, again carrying 21lbs and a rifle. The test will once again finish at CTCRM.
Tarzan Assault Course: As a course initially located through a series of trees (at height) this test will stretch the individual’s confidence whilst maintaining pressure for speed over the obstacles. 13 minutes is given for this test and although short and sharp its difficulty is highly regarded as a single mistake can cost significant time. Once again conducted wearing 21 lbs of kit and a rifle.
30 Mile March: Carrying 21lbs, a rifle and safety stores for in the eventuality of a casualty, we will march 30 miles across the arduous terrain presented over Dartmoor which is renowned for its rapidly changing climate, bogs and energy sapping hills. Allocated 8 hours for the final physical test conducted wearing 21 lbs of kit and a rifle.

The Commando Memorial is a Category A listed monument in Lochaber dedicated to the men of the original British Commando Forces raised during World War II. It overlooks the training areas of the Commando Training Depot established in 1942 at Achnacarry Castle and unveiled in 1952 by the Queen Mother. It was created by the sculptor Scott Sutherland who won a competition to design the memorial in 1949.
The monument consists of a cast bronze sculpture of three Commandos in characteristic dress complete with cap comforter, webbing and rifle, standing atop a stone plinth. "United we conquer" is inscribed around the top of the stone plinth, while the original plaque on the stone plinth reads: "In memory of the officers and men of the commandos who died in the Second World War 1939–1945. This country was their training ground”
A Garden of Remembrance, which was subsequently added to the site, is used by many surviving World War II Commandos as the designated final resting place for their ashes. It has also been used as a place where many families have scattered ashes and erected tributes to loved ones who belonged to contemporary Commando units and who have died in more recent conflicts such as the Falklands War or in Afghanistan and Iraq.
