After eliminating their entire unit, the Royal Marines “dominated” US forces days after they began a training exercise.
American combatants asked for a ‘reset’ halfway through a five-day simulated war exercise at the US Marine Corps’ Twentynine Palms base in the Mojave Desert in southern California, having taken significant casualties from British commandos using a new battle structure, The Telegraph reports.
The Marines’ kill board’, which evaluates damage done to enemy assets, had one tick against nearly all American assets. It meant that it had been rendered inoperable, or destroyed.
British forces were trialling the new Littoral Response Group (LRG) structure, which will be the new template for commandos – who are to become more flexible and mobile under reforms directed by First Sea Lord, Admiral Sir Tony Radakin.

The UK-based LRG North will cover the NATO’s Baltic and northern flanks after the Marines have been restructured. LRG (South), based around 40 Commando from Taunton, will be based around Oman’s port at Duqm and will focus on British military activities in the Indo-Pacific. Each LRG will have the ability to work with the carrier strike team to assemble an expeditionary force that can operate anywhere in this world.
