Why aren’t the Army or Air Force Posting these kind of high quality videos and recruitment ads. We need to see more of this.
29 Commando is an Army regiment
@@Swipey_BB . 29 Commando falls under the Royal Marines, also know as Army Commandos. They complete basic training and complete a short Commando Course. Are you from the UK?
@@jackwilliams121 the marines are part of the navy I think.
@@avb4348 yes you are correct. However soldiers in the British Army can attempt the All Arms Commando Course for non Royal Marines.
This is the army
This is hands down, THE best advert for ANY of our armed forces I've ever seen, I'm mega proud that my old Regiment has stepped up to social media and blown the bloody doors off, really selling ourselves and putting 29 on the map ... awesome. 👌🏻
@Documentary Detective III you probably enlist into a normal artillery regt first then after a spell ask your boss if you can teanfer n do the all arms commando bit
@Documentary Detective III Easiest route is to join the Royal Artillery first, British Army. Then ask for a posting to 29, this is based on you volunteering to undertake the Commando Course, once this is passed, you'll return to one of the Battery's within the Regt. Normally do a couple of years min then apply to go to 148 bty if you so wish. You'll also see the Regt has Royal Marines, Navy and RAF personel, these all have quals that integrate within the strike element, like boat coxswains or TACP
@documentarydetectiveiii5217you join by taking the all arms commando course for it
@@markrunnalls7215you can do the all arms commando course from being a civvy so you can get into right away after you complete the course
Didn’t search for this, but glad the algorithm brought us together. This is the sort of video that should be shown on TV for recruitment. I’d join up now if I wasn’t too old and unfit 😆
The quality of RM content is absolutely superb. Keep it up and the other services should be encouraged to produce the same.
Army video mate
@@jmf5687 Produced by the Royal Navy on behalf of 3 Cdo Bde. Because 29 Cdo is 3 Cdo Bde's organic artillery asset.
@J MF budget paid by Royal.
You have to do p company/commando course to stop being hats, but ultimately still hats.....
@@jmf5687yes, but a army regiment.
The Sicario-like moment at 3:52, splendid.
You're right! Reminded me of that scene from the movie. Good spot.
Royal marines are the best marines in the world often imitated never outmatched
Unfortunate that these are British army then
@@lachlanchester8142 still go through the rm commando training as apposed to any odd army barracks.
@Michael Tite yea I get that, but they still do the cdo training through the rm whether that be in lympstone or what not- as apposed to any army training area
@GeordieGuitarist what does the fact that they're Army have to do with anything? They're 3 Commando Brigade and arguably one of their biggest assets, providing information covertly behind enemy lines to the rest of the brigade. AACC still qualifies them just as much as any RM mate
@GeordieGuitarist You do know they're are RMs in 29 cdo right? Like quite literally one of the sergeants from 29 cdo who was speaking in the video is a RM
Respect from your brothers in the USMC 🤙🏻
Combat Arms Channel gonna be all over this one 🤘🤙
Wow, the ‘drop shorts’ have gone and got posh! Impressive video. I served for 5 years in 59 Ind Cdo Sun RE, and remember well running around the Citadel on Plymouth Hoe on the commando course, and then serving alongside the RA on exercise. Good times, when I had hair and a waistline!
This is how you do recruiting!
Great soundtrack, actual people who do the described job, and mission description.
A+ in my books!
Give me 12 hours of raw patrol over this any day. Love and respect to all military personnel, past & present, you're heroes of a different class.
Greetings from Polish MULF in Wroclaw, hope that some day we will conduct some exercises together as Recon group.
The best in the world at what they do . We are lucky to have them.
Well done to LPHOT James Clarke, I sent this on to a group chat where they just posted the Russian/US recruitment videos. Th e US one was quite sad, this is epic, teach the other branches how to make great films like this.
I have total respect for any unit who's officers, are as tough, as it's enlisted! Get it done!
Glad to see more info on the Battery. It's extremely competitive to get into. Your fitness levels need to be through the roof. And there's only a limited number of spaces available.
Can you explain what the battery is? And why it’s hard to get into? Thanks mate
@@oscara1471 because of the selection process - it's tough. These are the elite soldier, next to the Special Boat Service. They're a scouting/mayhem force.
Great regiment. I am proud to have served with a number of former 29 chaps.
Wonderful brave and impressive men, thank you gentlemen from Australia 😃🇦🇺👏🙌
Badass! RM videos always make me want to join up!
You'd need to join the badass Army, if you want to be RM Commando Royal Artillery (or Royal Engineers) Support Squadrons. You can be a badderass Diver if you join the Royal Engineers. Choose carefully.
@@cycleSCUBA Interesting... Unfortunately for me i tore my ACL/MCL 9 years ago (unrepaired), which from what i've read is an immediate fail on the medical exam.
@@harditsahota unlucky mate
My troop commander in the RA, lieutenant Potter, wore the green lid of 29 commando. Good bloke 👍
Royal marines, army commando, Royal navy and raf regt. Deadly force 🗡🇬🇧

The heroes we need - thank you for your service
Love the way the subtitles put effects verbs in capitals. Rigid!
Our armed forces branches in here in the U.S. could really learn a lot from you guys in terms of both combat expertise and recruitment, especially recruitment (I'm looking at you, Army "recruitment" video)
Haha I think everybody would prefer that Army 'recruiting' video never saw the light of day...most of all the US Army 😉
Hell Yea! This has inspired me to look at joining the RM!
29 commandos is army

@Lee Loofer You can be a Royal Marine and be based at 29 Cdo. So he's not wrong.
Good content RM keep it up! This is the shit that’ll get you new people.
I can't wait to join the Royal Marines and we'll done this is soo much better than the army ads no politics just the job that needs to be done

Dayum these clips are amazing!!! 🇬🇧🦁🗡
Great vid. Hoping for a 24 commando video to follow
Why? Who are the 24 commandoes?
@@oscara1471 It is a Royal Engineers Commando unit.
Provides engineering support to the commando brigades.

Some proper operators here. Outstanding. 👋

Video illustrates this saying well: “We sleep safely in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm.”
not my style but I thought yoiu mnight lkike this:
It is the Soldier, not the minister
Who has given us freedom of religion.
It is the Soldier, not the reporter
Who has given us freedom of press.
It is the Soldier, not the poet
Who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer
Who has given us freedom to protest.
It is the Soldier, not the lawyer
Who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the Soldier, not the politician
Who has given us the right to vote.
It is the Soldier who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protester to burn the flag.

Can you PLEASE make a video explaining the difference between all the different regiments in detail? Im highly interested in 45 commando but theres barely any info on how theyre different expect for extra mountain training
Ubique Quo Fas Et Gloria Ducunt. Gleaming effort, just how it should be portrayed.
Your men's job is even more dangerous Artillery Specialists, Heavy Weapons and Munitions. But, you can do more damage with a light strike team of 3 to 5 men. Great video on joints mission's 🇬🇧🇺🇸🏅👍
I plan to join once am done with my degree
as a regular or officer? also what are u studying?
@@klaudijussimaitis1404 regular, majoring in Mathematics
@Thiago Same I have just finished my first year at uni. What year are you in?
@@Thiago-im4ly dont do that you are smart enough to be an officer in another trade and get a job while in the military and then you can always get the course done. this will give you the commando patch and the green beret!! im not saying its wrong to join as a regular but there are way more options that will be open to you whilst at the same time allowing you to gain a trade that can be used in the wider world once you finish in the forces
Same here. Once I’m done w my degree, imma apply to be an Officer in the Royal Marines
Holy shit. Baz Green was one of the full screws in my platoon on basic training.
Callum Allsopp ... I remember you vaguely... Wasn't he 3 sections' section commander - along with Kelly, Hamilton and the Reme chap 🤣
Thank You so much
Good stuff
A proper advert, fit for purpose
Pretty hard to beat this for recruiting, if I was young I’d jump at this opportunity.
@Michael Tite Yes, I would. Nobody had snappy recruiting like this. And while in the US Army during Vietnam, I was sent to Germany, which was a different kind of adventure. So, you obviously wouldn’t, but heh, it’s your projection, right?
@Michael Tite My complements to you, you are hard boiled. And how many go into the military for the “right” reasons? Pretty sure nothing has changed when it comes to avoiding a draft by instead selecting a service. Mine could’ve been the USMC- you’d find out after being drafted. Lousy job prospects and not an encouraging background? There’s another one. Bit of trouble on the outside? There’s another. No family? There’s another one. Great looking uniform (USMC dress blues), check! Our Special Forces recruit from within, same with Marine Recon, etc. While I was in, the largest drawdown in modern history occurred-so huge cuts were made. Our only son spent 7 combat tours as a Marine between Iraq and Afghanistan-going directly from one to the next without a break. So, there’s more to the selection process than they will challenge everything you take for granted. Congratulations Michael for being one of those special people. But I have friends who went into those for SF groups for the “wrong” reasons-and excelled. The ad is great recruiting material. How many will succeed? Not as many as would like to. Good on ya’.
Awesome!
Excellent....
“ cognitive paralysis of our adversary“. I think Long John Silver said this better: “there’s confusion amongst ‘em”
We are here
Captain Geary would have loved this!
Can't wait to see one on 24 Commando's Recce Troop
Why?
@@oscara1471 because they've done the rest of the elements that are either part of or attached to 30 commando, so it's good to get the whole picture of the capabilities of the Brigade Reconnaissance Force.
Also, engineering recce at the regimental level is fairly straightforward to understand, but when they're supporting the BRF of 3 Cdo Bgd, it gets a lot more interesting. Are they trained in all of the same insertion techniques that the BPT and these guys from 29 are? Do they do ML3 and or ML2? Will the rest of BRF take individual sappers on raids and/or can the whole troop conduct similar raids itself? What's the selection process for getting into the recce troop.
It's a good explanation for anyone wanting to join the RE and 24.
One of my biggest regrets in life is I never joined the Royal Marines (or at least gave it a go)- if I'd seen this as a 19 year old (f*ckwit) it would have been the nudge that I needed - absolutely top marks on a great production.
Epic video!
as of today i passed for royal arty but when i get to basic i dont know what regiment im gonna go to
Awesome
Next time a vessel is hijacked use the jet packs to board the publicity would be amazing and good for recruiting
They never gonna use it , jet pack is exposed to a fire and very vulnerable. It looks good but not very practical.
The jet packs are let down by the need to use both hands meaning there's no way to carry a weapon or other kit.
I’ve heard that RN Weapon Engineers (CIS) have the chance to work in 148 Bat. Is this true? I assume the reason is for comms from the team to the ship
Correct
148 still on the go!? Good show chaps.
Meaning?
@@oscara1471 148 battery. I am surprised they haven't been merged/renamed/otherwise fiddled with. So many new and renamed units over the decades.
@@garthwick19 no I mean what is it? I am not military
@@oscara1471 148 Meiktila Battery is a small, elite and highly specialised forward observer unit that locates, studies and ultimately targets enemy assets. They are a small but highly professional unit that you would never know about really, unless you did a bit of digging. I think they are part of 3 Commando Brigade. Google is your friend for more info.
@@garthwick19 I see, it’s all so confusing. Does every royal marine platoon get assigned a random role? Like the first guys are dragoon’s and the second are welsh artillery😂😂it’s all so confusing to me.
Is c clamp grip being taught now?
real tough guys
I come here for the video, but I stay for the acronyms.
Great to see the gunners, ex gunner Ramsay's troop m

Respect
Can we see the others such as 30 Comando?
6:50 critical mission kit: the camera
When did they bring back the WW2 Combined Ops shoulder flash?
148 have always worn it, it's used as their qualification badge, once you pass the course you're given the flashes.
Great video guys much better than the army’s videos
Dam they got that old eagle patch from WW2. I dig.
Combined Operations patch. 148 is the only unit to continue wearing it from that period to the present day, because it’s alway been a Combined Operations (arms) unit
@@iceandale7621 I appreciate the info m8. Love the Brits.
@@mooppymcd I seem to remember seeing US Marines wearing the exact same patch in WW2, one of the Windtalkers but it was yellow on a black background
Looks great. Really well produced. Sorry, if I am being stupid but I dont understand what 29 commando is. Can someone explain. Are they RM?
The royal marines no longer field their own artillery. We rely on the army with soldiers going through a commando course to join '29 commando royal artillery'. That unit falls under the bigger 3 commando brigade. Which is predominantly royal marines.
Want to join but don't the joining procedure for people in the Caribbean
Really want to
Well Baz is from Burnley, can’t mistake that accent!
Wigan
@@pafcsouthcoast didn’t have a pie in his hand, that’s what must’ve thrown me off ;)
He's from Wigan, but I know what you mean, we do share a bit of dialect with Burnley, strange as we're nowhere near each other lol
Meiktila is as close to being ‘them’ as makes no difference. Between 148 and 4/73 there are some phenomenal soldiers. The ability to confidently and capably call in air, naval and artillery whilst under extreme stress is the difference between triumph and tragedy. Arma pacis fulcra.
@@Steve-cc6xc 300 mile ski? Stretching it a bit there mate, it’s 200km. 4/73 is a Divisional asset not a Brigade asset. 148 is a Brigade asset that works with the Surveillance Reconnaissance Squadron. HALO/HAHO are insertion methods not roles (148 also uses the same chutes) and has also been used many times throughout its history as a strategic asset (scud hunting in Iraq) due to the UK’s jack of all trades master of none, to label units along the lines of US Tier systems doesn’t happen
@@Steve-cc6xc no unit is “close” to SF. You either are or you aren’t. The notion is laughable. What makes SF who they are is their position within the battle space and the the targets they’re given, that’s it. PF and 30 commando have the same role but attack from different angles, methods of insertion, once they’re in the ground the role is the same. 148 is an element of the surveillance and reconnaissance squadron of 30 commando, there are ML’s at 148
@@iceandale7621I thought 148, SRS etc. use static line rather than free fall. I could be wrong but the only ones who are actually trained in HALO/HAHO are SF, SFSG and pathfinders.
Bad ass video.
Hats.
Have you still got the Jimmy Savile room at Lympstone
It gave him an excuse to go commando on the kids😂
Badly want to join wish I did when I was younger
How old are you it's never too late I'm considering it
1:10 is that a Nebula projector?
This should be an advert

I wanna join the commandos or the army air corps
Joint ops are the best ops.
The army needs to get some alli para adverts

I hate to say it but 148 Bty is the Creme de la Creme of the Royal Artillery Regiment. Top notch and far less pretentious than other publicity seeking "Elite" Regiments.
They are not SF
@Awoke Awoke it's not US so irrelevant really
@@pauldavison7105 Delete SF insert Elite.
Do you have to join the Royal Artillery to join 29 commando, or can you join an infantry regiment and then go 29 ?
you can also join from the royal marines and royal navy id imagine you can branch transfer from infantry to artillery and then go from there
@@tombarham1386there's also a handful of RAF in 3 commando brigade but they're rare
FFS.......all this gucci kit that's come in! Bit threaders I left now. On the plus side, the transferable skills you can't get on civvie street have got me in a role which I can't complain about. Cheers pusser.
Hoofing.
This felt like some type of rainbow six trailer
Now were fucking talking boys HARD AS NAILS🏴☠️🇨🇦🇱🇷🤙🍀
And the 105mm Light Guns and AA troop? Have they gone?
105's still very much a part of the Regiment 👍 and 23 bty also.
Formidable!
Call Harry!
Why can't they make the other ads like this?
I see where Australian Army got the inspo for theirs now
Bro, now i want to join the commando. If I'm not a damn neet.
How long has the RM been on the AR Platform? Is it a new transition or is has it been implemented for sometime but not advertised?
Either way, good move
Transferring over at the moment. Canadian C5 I believe.
Not an ar
@Grant - stop waffling.
Ain’t RM mate
Interesting, so JTAC operators are under Royal Marines not RAF
JTACs (not operators) within 3 Commando Brigade are a mix of Royal Marines, Army and some RAF Regiment.
Not sure what to call JTAC people thanks
Wish someone found a way to get Hypermobility to go away so i could join >:(
