3rd March - UK Commando Force work with German U-Boat S185 on Winter Deployment 26.
Shore Reconnaissance Troop and Special Observers from 148 Battery, both of which are from Surveillance and Reconnaissance Squadron (SRS), 30 Commando, worked with German U-Boat 35 S185, a type 212A Submarine, as part of Exercise Cold Response 26.
SRS boarded the German U-boat using an Inflatable Raiding Craft and stowing all their kit before diving below the surface.
Once in position, they disembarked the boat under the guise of night to establish an observation post to allow 148 Battery to confirm a target to a partner force ship to execute naval fires.
The UK and Norway have committed to stepping up their joint military partnership in the Arctic, as NATO allies look to strengthen security across the region against threats from Russia.

Pictured: 17 Feb 2026 - Royal Marines from 40 Commando on the ground after being inserted on a joint raid by 847 Naval Air Squadron Wildcat HMA Mk2 Helicopter at Elvegårdsmoen military training camp, Norway.
Royal Marines from 40 Commando were inserted on a joint raid with the Royal Netherlands Marine Corps at Elvegårdsmoen military training camp using Wildcats from 847 Naval Air Squadron and a Dutch NH90 from 820 Squadron.
Aircraft from Commando Helicopter Force have deployed to Northern Norway to Royal Norwegian Air Force base, Bardufoss, in Northern Norway, for their annual workout in the Arctic Circle, Operation Clockwork.
The Commando Merlin and Wildcat operators will master their environment – testing themselves and their machines against the extreme cold.
Personnel will carry out survival training, ensuring they can live and move in the wilderness – learning to navigate, ski and build shelters and forage for food – before conducting sorties over Norway’s fjords and mountains.
Intensive flying operations will ensure the Commando Helicopter Force is able to effectively operate their aircraft in the Arctic – testing pilots, observers and engineers alike.
All of this work will lead up to Exercise Cold Response – the largest military exercises in the country in 2026, which will demonstrate the unity of NATO and the ability of the alliance to deter threats in the high north.

And, yes that is my attempt at a minigun on A.J. (The brown thing coming down is supposed to be and ammo chain but I dont have that piece in block so it's brown ;)
