42 Commando, taking part in Exercise Emerald
Razor
Royal Marines used helicopters and sniper teams to
take down suspect vehicles during high-octane
training in Somerset and Wiltshire,
The UK Commando Force may be called upon to
stop, search, or destroy vehicles suspected of
carrying a threat - weapons or bombs - but also of
transporting persons of interest and other high-value targets during their specialist operations
around the globe.
Among the specialists on the exercise were Joint Terminal Attack Controllers (JTACs) of 29 Commando’s 148 148 (Meiktila) Commando Forward Observation Battery.
These Commandos work closely with aircraft from the ground, to firstly find a target, but then track and destroy them if needed.

It was a perfect setting to get a strobe shot with the high walls providing shade. I think this one is my fav of the Series of photos I took at this event.
