Commando Helicopter
Force
|
| The Commando Helicopter Force forms part of the Fleet Air Arm. The force comprises four
helicopter squadrons and is commanded by the Joint Helicopter Command. It consists of both Royal
Navy (RN) and Royal Marines personnel. RN personnel need not be commando trained. The Commando
Helicopter Force is neither under the permanent control of 3 Commando Brigade nor that of the
Commandant General Royal Marines but rather is allocated to support Royal Marines units as
required. It uses both Sea King transport and Lynx Light lift helicopters to provide aviation
support for the Royal Marines. |
