3 Commando Brigade - Cold Response '16

06.03.2016

3 Commando Brigade is taking part in a large scale NATO exercise in Norway. Cold Response '16 sees Royal Navy warships and 3 Commando Brigade working in concert with Dutch Marines.

The exercise, which also includes troops from multiple countries, including Denmark, Sweden and the United States, is designed to demonstrate NATO's ability to protect its northern flank. Guarding the the northern flank was a vital role during the cold war and remains crucial today. The Royal Marines, as Britain's winter warfare specialists, were assigned this important area of operations and continue to maintain high levels of training for the role.

Here are some photos and video showing 3 Commando Brigade in action during Cold Response '16:
