Royal Marine Commandos are known the world over for their arduous training, high fitness levels, professionalism and expert knowledge within their field. Royal Marines are required to undergo one of the longest and most physically demanding specialist infantry training regimes in the world. Commando Experience is your rare chance to join instructors and serving members of the Corps to take part in
