Small teams of Royal Marines are conducting discreet Reconnaissance exercises in freezing conditions deep inside the Arctic Circle.
A small team from the Surveillance Reconnaissance Squadron of 30 Commando Information Exploitation Group landed in small inflatable boats to conduct a technical reconnaissance mission on the shores of an Arctic fjord.
The Squadron’s Shore Reconnaissance Team carried out a survey of the area, studying the surroundings to establish a beachhead for amphibious forces to crash ashore and attack enemy positions.
This essential training ensures the specialist team are razor sharp for operations, no matter how extreme the environment.
Their role is to ensure that amphibious forces are able to access coastlines, establishing the best points of access and feeding back vital information on the terrain.

He's actually starting to fall here. Although it kind of looks like he's got a paw on the wall, this shot started as one of a cat's stomach protruding through a missing ceiling tile. The tile gave way as the flash went off, and voila!
The crabapple tree training really paid off and he pulled himself back using nothing but his hind legs. He recovered his balance and backed up inside the ceiling again where he continued to knock out the tiles.
I love my cat.

Anyways, let me know what you think, and reply to my QPF(Question of the Pic Fic, it's like the question of the day, but it relates to my most recent photo story)

QPF: Why do you think Elune's mom is in Rehab?
and a bonus QPF: What do you think of Rakai's cheating on Elune with Miku?
“Where the hell did he go?! This guy’s a ghost!”
“Forget Alvarez, he’s dead! We have to get out of here before we’re next!”
“Shut up! There’s only one Joe, he can’t kill us all!”
Ben Nevis far right with its head in the clouds. This is a stunning viewpoint when the weather is clear, and a very poignant memorial to the Commandos who trained over this region during the second World War during there early days as a unit.

Spean Bridge Commando Memorial, Spean Bridge, Scotland
The Commando Memorial is a Category A listed monument in Scotland, dedicated to the men of the original British Commando Forces raised during World War II. Situated around a mile from Spean Bridge village, it overlooks the training areas of the Commando Training Depot established in 1942 at Achnacarry Castle. Unveiled in 1952 by the Queen Mother, it has become one of Scotland's best-known monuments, both as a war memorial and as a tourist attraction offering views of Ben Nevis and Aonach Mòr.
In 1949, the sculptor Scott Sutherland won a competition open to all Scottish sculptors for the commission, The Commando Memorial. Sutherland's design won first prize of £200. The base of the bronze statue is inscribed with the date of 1951. The sculpture was cast in the H.H Martyn and Company's foundry. The memorial was officially unveiled by the Queen Mother on 27 September 1952. The monument was first designated as a listed structure on 5 October 1971, and was upgraded to a Category A listing on 15 August 1996. On 18 November 1993 a further plaque was added to mark the Freedom of Lochaber being given to the Commando Association. On 27 March 2010 a 2 miles (3.2 km) war memorial path was opened connecting two local war memorials, the Commando Memorial, and the former High Bridge built by General Wade, where the first shots were fired in the Jacobite Rising of 1745 in the Highbridge Skirmish [information: Wikipedia ]

Norton Commando 850, nice to see a bike with character! Spotted in St Mawes just after a rain shower. Must have caught the rider out as the keys are in the ignition!
This is the first ver I design. Yup, I'm a bit kinda old school that I like opened visor design. But I think I might try some different I made. Well, as you saw I made it in no-visor ver at final.
Pictured: 45 Commando Assault Engineers conduct Close Quarter Battle (CQB) training in northern Norway.
Royal Marines from 45 Commando have deployed to Norway for WINTER DEPLOYMENT 20 (WD 20).
The Arbroath-based Royal Marine Commando Unit are being put through their paces in the harsh Arctic conditions. As 3 Cdo Bde’s mountain and cold weather warfare specialists, WD20 will ensure that the Unit is ready in all respects to operate in one of the world’s most arduous environments.
As part of Ex CETUS, training for the Unit starts with the Cold Weather Warfare Course which teaches students the skills needed to operate in an Arctic environment. The course has three phases – survival, mobility and warfare, culminating in a final exercise which puts the newly-taught skills into practice. The Unit will then begin a period of Skills to Arms training, where each sub-unit will undertake their own bespoke training package, which includes working with other Royal Marine units and a variety of NATO allies.
WD20 will conclude with Exercise COLD RESPONSE, a large, multi-national NATO exercise which will build on from the success of BALTIC PROTECTOR 19. The exercise is spread over several weeks and will see Littoral Strike and Future Commando Force playing a key part, with the 45 Cdo Battlegroup operating from a variety of different platforms alongside other NATO partners.

Hey Everyone!
This is my custom Commando Niner which I just finished recently. He features an Arealight Fixer Helmet (Freebie) which I painted over the Green in a Cobalt Blue. He also is holding a Clone Army Customs Commando Blaster and decals designed by someguy577 on the Customise and Builders Guild forums which I painted over in the same cobalt blue.
During the Second World War British Commandos and other specialist forces trained in the remote north-west of Scotland - an area that was completely closed off to all but locals during the war.
This memorial, located at Spean Bridge, just north of Fort William, commemorates the Commandos.
Behind and to the right is a poignant area put aside for personal tributes to individuals- most of which died in action in the years since WW2.
