Who are Royal Marines?
The Royal Marines are the UK's elite amphibious light infantry, part of the Royal Navy. They're trained for rapid deployment and operations in all environments, from deserts to the Arctic. Their involvement in Operation Atlantic City, alongside RAF personnel, shows their specialist skills are crucial for operating effectively in challenging, remote locations like Jan Mayen.
