RMC’s 1I have a love for the forces so I done this. This project was an end of year final major project. For this, we made a book: using Blurb, InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator. On this show sheet, you can see the bottom, silhouette, illustration that’s I designed and made. I did this by using illustrator, but first I drew the figures of the Royal Marines out. I was going for a sunset background but changed it after I found textures on Photoshop, this was a much better style, and gave a better effect than a plain old sunset.

EXperimental Commandos
Most special forces tend to operate in small, closely knit groups, but the CBU is experimenting with assigning certain high-level missions to superbly trained and motivated individuals to carry out entirely alone. These independent, lone-wolf types are given the most cutting edge equipment; and then sent off to wreak havoc among the foe through sabotage, assassination and espionage.

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.
