Role of the Royal Marines
The Royal Marines are a maritime-focused, amphibious, light
infantry force capable of deploying at short notice in support
of the United Kingdom Government's military and diplomatic
objectives overseas and are optimised for operational
situations requiring highly manoeuvreable forces. As the United
Kingdom Armed Forces' specialists in cold weather warfare the
Corps provide lead element expertise in the NATO Northern Flank
and are optimised for high altitude operations.
In common with the other armed forces, the Royal Marines can
provide resources for Military Aid to the Civil Community and
Military Aid to the Civil Power operations and have done
so.
