Hell yeah my fathers family is 65% british, and well i'm joining the U.S.M.C It'll be great to fight along side my bloodline, i still think America should be a commentwealth country though.
Im american and it really doesnt matter the classifications of usmc or rm. They are both some of the best fighters in the world. So are the us and uk armies air forces and navy. They all will do their job with precision.
Royal Marines are a fine tuned scalpel. They are precise. The USMC is more like a chainsaw, it gets the job done no matter what. The Royal Marines are Spec. Ops. (Commandos) as the USMC is a shock troop. Either way, a Marine is a Marine.
@killerclown789 Look it up. Do you know what Shock troops are? It is a force that is the first to see combat, the first units to contact the enemy. They "shock" the enemy, then Army comes in and mops up.
@StonewallJackson26 US Marines are trained as basic infantry. Royal Marines are commando trained and have the toughest basic training for a non SF unit in NATO.
@killerclown789 Marines are trained to be an amphibious shock force that is the VERY first to contact the enemy. They are deployed even before Army Rangers or Navy Seals. Have some respect you miserable cunt. Plus Marine Force Recon would mash your ROYAL Marines.
@StonewallJackson26 Marine training training is BASIC compared to the commando trained Royal Marines. Tier 1 units and pathfinders are always deployed first. The US Special Forces arrived 2 weeks after 9/11, and the regulars (Army and Marines) arrived later. In Iraq, it was CIA units and Tier 1 units who were their first. It always is.
I'm not from the UK and I'm not biased like you. Royal Marines are CLEARLY superior to basic US Marines. The RMs also have a special unit, the SBS, who are #1.
You are just biased to your own country. You can't accept the fact that RMs are better trained than US Marines. If you were from the UK, it would be the other way around.
Also, don't say I don't have respect for units, because I do.
@killerclown789 Track record speaks for itself. Nothing about the USMC is basic. Get that straight right now. As I said. Marine Force Recon is where it's at. I would take MFR any day over the SBS.
@StonewallJackson26 You would rather take a Tier 2 unit over a Tier 1 unit that has been doing its business since 1941 and is the maritime SF unit upon which all others are based? Now you're just being silly.
Forgot to mention; Force Recon is a copy of the Navy SEALs who were trained by SAS and SBS officers back in the 50's and 60's I believe. To be honest, almost the entire US military is based off of the UK military.
@killerclown789 Even if it was which it isn't the, who cares what the US military is based on? The USMC is not tier 2 you clown. If they are first to contact an enemy that qualifies as tier 1. The USMC always sees the worst combat, and they are deployed to the most hostile regions before anyone else. They are tier 1. Especially Marine Force Recon. Marine Force Recon are even superior to SEALS. SEALS were sailors originally. Marine Force Recon were Marines originally.
@StonewallJackson26 Force Recon ARE not Tier 1. Since you have made that claim, I am not arguing with you any more because you don't have a clue what you are talking about.
im about 90% british on my fathers side and im proud of my blood but im a proud American and a future U.S Marine, i think since america came from england settelers ithink we should have our military royal too, but its ok with or without, i hope to work with the royal Marines as a American defending our allys and ourselves oorah and hail the USA, ENGLAND, CANADA, AUSTRALIA,IRELAND, AND NEW ZEALAND WE ALL ARE THE BEST COUNTRIES ON GODS GREEN EARTH
hellfire is waiting for you all infidels, come and kill the muslim woman and children, bomb villages of nothing but old and weal people kill millions and claim remeber 911, you have no heart no sense, feel proud get your attentiona nd pat on the back from your fellow americans, you fight for oil lies from your politicians......Al Qaeda and the Taliban rule the battlefireld by the will of Allah!
Joining the US Marines next year. I really hope that I get to work with some Brits at some point. Stay safe and thanks to everyone out there helping us.
In the end it's not the country you serve or the branch in which you serve. It's serving and taking a stand for what you believe in. As one who served and is ever ready to take up arms should the need arise no matter the country, no matter the branch they are all brothers/sisters in arms. I am proud to have served and would serve with any who would stand for what they believe in. Semper Fi.
@leonwiganer No I know about Wild Bill, and it's true the OSS and SOE worked together, a lot, and it's also true that the OSS and Rangers used the Fairbairn-Sykes fighting knife, hell the Ranger Memorial depicts an FS fighting knife. Brits are proud of that history, as they should be, but they forget Col. Rex Applegate who developed CQC alongside Fairbarin. Applegate was OSS and trained the elite allied unit, Brits included if you can bring yourself to bear that Brits can be trained by Americans
@leonwiganer they helped trained the Rangers in Northern Ireland yes, but the OSS trained in the US on their own accord. For example, the OSS was set up in the US, and trained at various sites across the country. The Congressional Country Club for example, was going bankrupt at the time, so they became a training ground for them, also the OSS had a much heavier role on their own in Asia. The reason our commando unit is called the rangers is because our previous commando units had the same name
I'm proud to be and American and when the time comes when I join my Marines I will be proud to serve along side the Royal Marines great tribute man very well done
Great Video! Beautiful music! I love the USMC!! Semper FI! To the RMC, PMPT! I salute both of you! I pray for the US and our allies' success and safety, God Speed to all the fighting forces rooting out the terrorists. Kick some ass and come home soon. Thank you for your service and courage. You are the pride of your country, yourself, and your family. Go USA!
I loved this video, I found myself with tears (yeah, I'm such a girl), but I love the US Marines, my brother was one, now he is Special Forces, Green Beret. He does more special ops now. As Navy Comms, I had the honor of working with the Marines and handled some Brit Comms, too. I hope and pray for the American troops and also our allies, especially the Brits. I hope our two countries will always stick together, we make an incredibe team. Love and respect for both Marine Corps and SFs.
this is a mint video and yep finally a vid which does not bitch on which is more trained, we are in the afghan shit together so why bitch about each other its pointless just bitch about the terrorists which are our enemy
@bighands69 The green berets were formed out of the remnants of the 1st Special Service Force and the OSS, so they were originally similar to, but not based, off the SAS.
While the Seals trace their lineage to the UDTs of WWII, the guys that scouted the beaches before amphibious invasions, and while they are similar to the commandos, they weren't based on them.
The US green berets wear a green beret as they copied the british green berets as did all other modern commando services.
Navy seals are based on British Swimmer Canoeists marines and are not based on SAS. SAS training methods were only later added to swimmer classes. Because to this point swimmer classes were only commandos and not special forces.
Navy seals are commandos that have specialized as swimmer's and did not upgrade to special forces.
@bighands69 Navy seals are special operations, they are a part of Joint Special Operations Command, and are on par with the green berets as they are both considered a tier 2 special operations unit. The Seals/Devgru are comparable to the SBS.
@bighands69 the US Special operations command is split into 3 tiers. tier 3 is the Rangers (specialize in raids and support, much like the SFSG, this can be seen in Black Hawk Down for example, when they provide perimeter security for Delta). Tier 2 consists of Special Forces (the green berets) and Seals, though there are more people in SF than there are Seals. just like Rangers aren't in the same league as the Seals or SF, neither is SFSG, Seals are somewhere between SFSG and SBS
There are elements within SFSG that are on a par with Navy seals but not all are on par.
There is Royal Marine combat divers that have technical training that is on a par with navy seals. But this does not apply to all Royal Marines as a whole.
The core of Navy seals is based on Royal Marine commandos training. But they have technical training in the fields of diving that is beyond standard commandos.
Navy seals are commandos with more technical training.
@bighands69 The closest comparison to the Royal Marines would be a recon element of the USMC. Yes the Seals have more technical training in SCUBA, but also in demolition. US Special Forces (green berets) and the Seals can't be compared to any unit in the UK. The unit that can be compared to the RMC would be the Rangers, hence their history with each other during wwii. I still stand by that Seals, and SF are on the middle ground between SFSG and the SAS/SBS
@bighands69 I should also add that there are Rangers that are trained as Special Forces Combat Divers, (in the US, Special Forces is different than Special operations, those terms cannot be used interchangeably) HALO, etc... the SFSG or RMC may be trained in skills to the standard of Seals, but they do not operate the same way. Seals operate in small teams, approx 4-12 depending on the mission. and they operate behind enemy lines without ground support. SFSG and RMC are comparable with Rangers.
Navy seals have based there format on Royal marine commandos. As you have stated they operate in small teams behind enemy lines in teams of 4-12 depending on operations structure. This was the format that was designed by the British commandos that us commandos copied.
The only difference is that seals as are UDT and combat divers as a base standard which British commandos are not.
British commandos would fall under a US teir 2 not 3.
@bighands69 History shows the Rangers and the RMC are on equal footing. WWII when the Rangers were being rebooted, they trained with the RMC, and were intermingled with them. There were stories of American Soldiers who failed Ranger Training, and were quickly picked up by the RMC on loan from the US. I'm not going to argue this, just look at the specialties of the Rangers and that of the RMC, you'll find that they are eerily similar.
Paras are quite professional, but in a recent TAB and Shoot
I am not denying that that US rangers have there foundation formed from British commandos. But so do the French green berets as do the US green berets.
Are You trying to suggest that US green Beret have not been formed from the basis of the British commandos.
Even though they wear the green beret as do the French green berets.
I will go one step further with a question does the British Swimmer Canoeist's form from British commandos.
@bighands69 I'm suggesting the US Green beret's trace their history to the Jedburgh teams of the OSS (which operated very closely with the SAS) and the 1st Special Service Force (also known as the Devil's Brigade, a joint American/Canadian Commando unit). The color of the beret means different things in different countries, even in different services. The british maroon beret worn by the airborne was granted to a US airborne unit during WWII for their service, sure, but you take the same beret
in the USAF, and it means something entirely different, the maroon/scarlet beret is worn by the elite pararescue jumpers. Likewise with the Tan beret, which is worn by the SAS, is worn by the Rangers in the US. by that logic the color beret would suggest the Rangers and SAS are on equal footing... clearly not the case.
I wouldn't say the swimmer canoeists form the british commandos, but rather a specialty branch, much like Ranger units which specialize in combat diving or HALO.
@bighands69 It's simply an additional skill making the soldier more capable. In short, Rangers have a history with Commandos. Special Forces have history in the Devil's Brigade and the OSS who worked with the SAS. Seals have their history with the UDT teams of WWII. Comparable units as I see are Rangers=RMC, Special Forces/Delta=SAS, Seals,DEVGRU=SBS. To be fair the bread and butter of the Green Berets is a skill which I have yet to see in any countries special operations unit, which is they MO
@bighands69 There's no real reason. Special Forces always did things differently. When they started to wear it, there was no official headgear for the US army, and the green berets wore it despite orders not to just to show they were different. Rangers did the same thing. Let me flip the question on you, why is it that the SAS wear a Tan beret, which is also worn by the Rangers? Rangers have a longer history dating back to colonial times... so does that mean the SAS adopted this? of course not.
@bighands69 the color of a beret as I said, means different things in different countries. It makes sense the french commandos wear a green beret, because they were more heavily influenced by the UK after WWII. origins of certain colored berets mean different things to different people. Example, the tan beret worn by rangers is tan simply because no one else in the US army wears it, and it reflects the color of buckskin, dating back to Roger's Rangers, is this why the SAS wears it? NO!
@bighands69 and the British Swimmer Canoeists? I'm assuming thats the SBS? Historically the SBS is compared to the Seal Teams. They tend to recruit from the RMC. to further my original claim about Rangers being comparable to the Commandos, during WWII when the Ranger program was being rebooted, The term commando was thrown around, but a British officer suggested the american commando unit needed a name that suggested commando, but sounded american, that's how the modern day Ranger was assigned.
@bighands69 Now I know you're probably getting your info from wikipedia. Let me clarify, Green berets trace their heritage to the OSS, and many people think the OSS trained in europe. Common misconception. One of their biggest training bases was none other than the Congressional Golf Course in DC, strange as it sounds. There's only so many colors that can be used, so the use of the green beret by both RMC and special forces is purely coincidental. unless they wanted a hot pink beret... hmm
@bighands69 US greenberets and seals have a founded base in the OSS/1st Special Service Force, and the UDT's respectively. It is recognized that Seal training is one of the hardest special operations training in the world. Now if you have a source that says that the SEALs are founded on the RMC, then by all means share it. But based on their roles and missions, and even history. To reiterate, the role of the RMC is not comparable to that of the SEALs, it is comparable to the Rangers.
@duncdohntuz they weren't created from inspiration, they evolved on their own from the UDT teams. Which is why they share some of the same roles, but have an entirely different way of operating, I think you're confusing this with Delta, which Charles Beckwith of Special Forces served with as an exchange officer, but even before that there was a history of tier 1 units, you had the OSS during WWII, the SOG in vietnam (these guys were probably the most effective unit to ever walk the earth) its a
@duncdohntuz shame they didn't last, Then there was an interim unit between SOG and Delta called Special Forces Blue Light, which carried out much the same role.
@bighands69 with the Rangers, the Rangers simply outperformed them. RMC and Rangers are both masters of Raids/Ambushes. Both operate behind enemy lines, both pride themselves in their superior physical fitness and tactical ability. And both have an illustrious history. WWII, Rangers fought with the Fairbairn Sykes Fighting knife showing their kinship with the Commandos. The capabilites of Seals are higher than that of Rangers and RMC. Seals are on the same tier as Special Forces, which are a cut
@bighands69 above Rangers and Commandos. Let's take a look at hand to hand. Commandos have a history with the Fairbairn Sykes knife, and the Rangers dabbled with this in WWII, Though Rangers have a history with the tomahawk, dating back to colonial times. and they are still used today amongst them. But Rangers and RMC are historicall identical in their purpose. RMC may have some men trained to the ability of Seals, but Rangers have soldiers trained to the ability of Special Forces
@bighands69 Let's take a look at it this way. Special Forces are tier 2, and their job is to 'win hearts and minds' which is often the job of the SAS in the UK. Seals are on the same tier as Special Forces, and there are far fewer of them than green berets. based on history, Rangers are a combination of the Paras, historically the RMC, and their relationship with Delta is reminiscent of SFSG of the UK. The 2 Special ops communities are different, but make no mistake Rangers are on par with RMC
Royal Marines are the special operations unit of the Royal Navy, and have more in common with the US Rangers, considering they trained together in WWII,
USMC is it's on branch of the US military with it's own aviation, armor, and command structure, though it reports to the Secretary of the Navy.
@MultiJakeyboy He has a hard on for anything military, The US military hates him they have to force soldiers and sailors to stand up to give him respect. As to why Obama doesn't like the UK I suspect it is because of Iraq and Afghanistan which isn't you guys fault we talked you into it. I don't have any real answers for you just my opinion. If I was the British... until this guy is out of office I would tell the US to fuck off. You deserve better than to deal with that ass wipe obama.
@testbooster You're right, the US military does hate Obama. And Obama hasn't been kind to our British friends, but he has done the same thing to Israel. Don't think the American people haven't noticed. Obama's a punk. I pray he won't get re-elected, and I will campaign against him in 2012. Let's just hope the Republican nominee isn't an old, troll like McCain.
If you guys just look at these pictures, you'll notice that the USMC always works as a team, while the Royal Marines are less for the team work. USMC IS ALWAYS THE BEST, NO MATTER HOW LONG THE TRAINING IS, USMC. OORAH
@USparatroopersurgeon "the Royal Marines are less for the team work" - I cannot stress how incorrect that statement is, each who wears the Royal Marines Commando green beret is a brother of the Corps. Search for a video called 'Royal Marines Apache Rescue Afghanistan', two Royals volunteers sit on the outside of an Apache to land and extract a fallen comrade - that's teamwork.
Both Marines and Royal Marines are bloody awesome doin a great job out in Iraq and Afghanistan and keepin our families safe,,,...... keep up to awesome work
my 3 favorite images in this video are the one with the buy carrying one of the local to safety the other two are of the soldiers on both sides making it back to see their families
The royal marines are brilliant i fought alongside some in afganistan 2 where killed in the firefight in this small village and also 1 us marine died and 3 where injured but then we pushed the taliban up the hill and they ran. This royal marine called thomas said that hes from birmingham. I have respect for the british military their land rovers are way better than humvees and the jackal well i saw some british army drive that thing and i wish we had some!!!!
finally! a video where the comments arnt "my country has the better army than yours"
im in the British army. i've got big respect for the US forces, and they have big respect for us (underneath all the banter :p) i may not agree with US politics all the time, hell i never agree with British politics, but at the end of the day id rather have a yank by my side in a fire fight than any other foreigner.
@rtahiggins hey sir im a yank and i must say i have mad respect for u guys it dont matter who has the better country or military i mean hell the uk and us together are unbeatable
@BuppyChan1 The Royal Marines are a very well trained unit,and are full of English, Scots, Irish and Welsh and all British Hardcore.The US Marines would not want to work with anyone else.
@YARROWS9 What the hell are you talking about? Not only, are there men and women from various backgrounds IN the USMC, but they have fought along side other countries in the past war alone. My cousins are Marines, and Ive met their friends who served with them (one of which is Mexican). Yes, a Mexican, AND my CANADIAN cousins, are US Marines.
@rtahiggins Couldnt have said it any better way i want to add u r very nice and i am an American and i wouldnt bother haven a Brit by my side please add me love that comment!
i'm sick of people thinking we're "invaders" or "occupiers" people can say what they like, the actual truth, where afghanistan is concerned, the primary remit for ISAF is ensuring the welfare of afghan people.. still i've been called a murderer and even a rapist, and i feel kind of sick when someone says that
brilliant, i'm a royal marine and i've served side my side with lads who are now lasting friends from the USMC, was my honor.
CoastGuardlDC, might be interested to know that i also served with US Coast Guard guys from Boston, also high callibre guys, we practiced Close Quarters Battle specific to taking down ships, they were highly skilled and im honored to have worked with them, i know we'll always fight together
@daveisgrate Awesome, mate...glad you were able to work with my "Coastie" mates....we are the smallest military branch of the U.S., and many Americans fail to realize that we are a military branch....we were established in 1790 and have fought in every war in which the U.S. fought. Many former Marines, soldiers, airmen and sailors ship over to the coast guard, including me (ex-USN)....and most find the CG a better "fit", if you know what I mean...cheers.
@CoastGuardIDC we're also a proportionately small force, but we spearhead uk operations, like you lads we're always involved :) honestly miss the coasties i worked with out there, real professional guys, and a good laugh..
watching this video makes me want to go back to afghanistan, i feel like im a 5th wheel back in england these days, atleast i count for something out there
@daveisgrate ..I'm glad you have good memories serving with my Coastie mates...when I was at sea in the Carribean, I came aboard a Royal Navy ship and was blown away when I was offered a pint of bitter...LOL...sadly, I had to decline as my service is anal when it comes to drinking at sea. Your sailors seemed to have no issues with alcohol abuse...the Chiefs could even have a glass, or two, of beer during the working day!!! Lucky blokes..... ;) Are you still active duty?....I
@CoastGuardIDC yeah i am mate, at 42 commando at the moment, home for christmas.. i'll be redeploying to afghanistan in march. yeah navy are a bunch of piss heads haha, im glad you had a good experience though, nothing worse than having to turn down a beer though!
@daveisgrate ...hope you had a Merry Christmas and will have a Happy New Year....be careful in Afghanistan....God speed in your next tour so you can get back home safely....cheers, mate....
I hope the U.S. and U.K. are always brothers-in-arms.....it seems to be the only team keeping the barbarians from stomin' the gates......Russia+China?....nah...India+Spain...nah....UK+US?.....always....
@CoastGuardIDC hmm i like what ur trying to say but i think thats a little disrespectful to the eu countrys like germany france ect who have lost soldiers in this war fighting fo the same cause though . WE WILL WIN THIS WAR THOUGH !
@baillie2k9 Well, baillie2k9, I meant no disrespect towards the EU countries and any other country contributing to the war against Islamofascism, so please allow me to say thanks to those brave men and women who represent their respective countries assisting the US and UK in the war against tyranny...they know who they are. :)
@CoastGuardIDC yeah thats good :) it just feels sometimes people forget about others who gave their lives for a peaceful world . but i am from uk so .... lol
@wallabingbangbo ME I DISLIKED IT THEIS PEPOLE DON T FIGHT FIGHT FOR THERE COUNTRY ITS FOR THERE GOVERMENT BUT I DO FELL SORRY IF THEY ARE WOUNDED OR DIE
@uktrainsim001 Thats why it's a tribute to the Royal Marines Commando's and the U.S.M.C, its not a tribute to the government. I am Planning on joining the Royal Marines and I believe that i am fighting for my country, and so do the other men that join up. I trust the people that are put into power in Great Britain to make good decision's and protect my nation !
Lets stop fighting over Youtube and face facts. Royal Marines+ U.S Marines= unbeatable fighting force. My greatest respects for all troops out there fighting. Oh and whats the Semper Fi and oorah all about, im not saying it's a load of rubbish it's just ive always wondered
@TheKingsRedcoats Semper Fi is the US marines slogan meaning "always faithful". oorah is sort of like the US marines war cry. id be curious to know if the British marines have sort of the same equivalent to a slogan or war cry if you know.
@JPOGTrex nope we use our own dependingon wich regiment like RAF Gunenrs is Per Aruda not sure what it means Sas Who Dares Wins RMC Per Mare Per Terram as for war cries brittish soldiers kill before they celibrate
I hate all the comments about people arguing about which fighting force is better USMC or the Royal Marines, personally I can't wait to join the RMCs but if I were an American I would want to join the marine corps
@pingergubes Its funny how the only people not arguing over who's better are the actual troops, yet the kids on you tube go crazy. Cant wait to be 18, respect for both branches.

In the end it's not the country you serve or the branch in which you serve. It's serving and taking a stand for what you believe in. As one who served and is ever ready to take up arms should the need arise no matter the country, no matter the branch they are all brothers/sisters in arms. I am proud to have served and would serve with any who would stand for what they believe in. Semper Fi.

@leonwiganer No I know about Wild Bill, and it's true the OSS and SOE worked together, a lot, and it's also true that the OSS and Rangers used the Fairbairn-Sykes fighting knife, hell the Ranger Memorial depicts an FS fighting knife. Brits are proud of that history, as they should be, but they forget Col. Rex Applegate who developed CQC alongside Fairbarin. Applegate was OSS and trained the elite allied unit, Brits included if you can bring yourself to bear that Brits can be trained by Americans
kterris1 10 months ago
@leonwiganer they helped trained the Rangers in Northern Ireland yes, but the OSS trained in the US on their own accord. For example, the OSS was set up in the US, and trained at various sites across the country. The Congressional Country Club for example, was going bankrupt at the time, so they became a training ground for them, also the OSS had a much heavier role on their own in Asia. The reason our commando unit is called the rangers is because our previous commando units had the same name

Us marines are not comparable to royal marines.
A better comparison would be with standard british infantry. The USMC is better trained than standard british by a mile.
Royal marines are comparable to navy seals and green berets.

@bighands69 I'd say Rangers, because they trained with each other in WWII
kterris1 11 months ago
@kterris1
US rangers are based on british commandos but so are US green berets and navy seal are diver based commando's.
Green Berets and navy seals have more technical training than British commandos. But there core training is based on similar models.
bighands69 11 months ago
@bighands69 The green berets were formed out of the remnants of the 1st Special Service Force and the OSS, so they were originally similar to, but not based, off the SAS.
While the Seals trace their lineage to the UDTs of WWII, the guys that scouted the beaches before amphibious invasions, and while they are similar to the commandos, they weren't based on them.
kterris1 11 months ago
@kterris1
The US green berets wear a green beret as they copied the british green berets as did all other modern commando services.
Navy seals are based on British Swimmer Canoeists marines and are not based on SAS. SAS training methods were only later added to swimmer classes. Because to this point swimmer classes were only commandos and not special forces.
Navy seals are commandos that have specialized as swimmer's and did not upgrade to special forces.
bighands69 11 months ago
@bighands69 Navy seals are special operations, they are a part of Joint Special Operations Command, and are on par with the green berets as they are both considered a tier 2 special operations unit. The Seals/Devgru are comparable to the SBS.
kterris1 11 months ago
@kterris1
Devgru are comparable to SBS and SAS but a standard seal is not in that league.
Standard seals are commandos that are at the standard of uk Special Forces Support Group.
bighands69 11 months ago
@bighands69 the US Special operations command is split into 3 tiers. tier 3 is the Rangers (specialize in raids and support, much like the SFSG, this can be seen in Black Hawk Down for example, when they provide perimeter security for Delta). Tier 2 consists of Special Forces (the green berets) and Seals, though there are more people in SF than there are Seals. just like Rangers aren't in the same league as the Seals or SF, neither is SFSG, Seals are somewhere between SFSG and SBS
kterris1 11 months ago
@kterris1
There are elements within SFSG that are on a par with Navy seals but not all are on par.
There is Royal Marine combat divers that have technical training that is on a par with navy seals. But this does not apply to all Royal Marines as a whole.
The core of Navy seals is based on Royal Marine commandos training. But they have technical training in the fields of diving that is beyond standard commandos.
Navy seals are commandos with more technical training.
bighands69 11 months ago
@bighands69 The closest comparison to the Royal Marines would be a recon element of the USMC. Yes the Seals have more technical training in SCUBA, but also in demolition. US Special Forces (green berets) and the Seals can't be compared to any unit in the UK. The unit that can be compared to the RMC would be the Rangers, hence their history with each other during wwii. I still stand by that Seals, and SF are on the middle ground between SFSG and the SAS/SBS
kterris1 11 months ago
@kterris1
Special forces in the uk has a different meaning from that of the US.
The american system would classify british commandos as special forces.
British commando is a generic grade that all commandos world wide have based there system on.
US Navy seals are directly comparable to British commando divers (not SBS).
Uk SFSG have commandos that are artic trained, combat diver and halo jump trained to the standard of navy seals.
Commando is a basic standard in the US and UK.
bighands69 11 months ago
@bighands69 I should also add that there are Rangers that are trained as Special Forces Combat Divers, (in the US, Special Forces is different than Special operations, those terms cannot be used interchangeably) HALO, etc... the SFSG or RMC may be trained in skills to the standard of Seals, but they do not operate the same way. Seals operate in small teams, approx 4-12 depending on the mission. and they operate behind enemy lines without ground support. SFSG and RMC are comparable with Rangers.
kterris1 11 months ago
@kterris1
Navy seals have based there format on Royal marine commandos. As you have stated they operate in small teams behind enemy lines in teams of 4-12 depending on operations structure. This was the format that was designed by the British commandos that us commandos copied.
The only difference is that seals as are UDT and combat divers as a base standard which British commandos are not.
British commandos would fall under a US teir 2 not 3.
British Para troopers would be teir 3.
bighands69 10 months ago
@bighands69 History shows the Rangers and the RMC are on equal footing. WWII when the Rangers were being rebooted, they trained with the RMC, and were intermingled with them. There were stories of American Soldiers who failed Ranger Training, and were quickly picked up by the RMC on loan from the US. I'm not going to argue this, just look at the specialties of the Rangers and that of the RMC, you'll find that they are eerily similar.
Paras are quite professional, but in a recent TAB and Shoot
kterris1 10 months ago
@kterris1
I am not denying that that US rangers have there foundation formed from British commandos. But so do the French green berets as do the US green berets.
Are You trying to suggest that US green Beret have not been formed from the basis of the British commandos.
Even though they wear the green beret as do the French green berets.
I will go one step further with a question does the British Swimmer Canoeist's form from British commandos.
bighands69 10 months ago
@bighands69 I'm suggesting the US Green beret's trace their history to the Jedburgh teams of the OSS (which operated very closely with the SAS) and the 1st Special Service Force (also known as the Devil's Brigade, a joint American/Canadian Commando unit). The color of the beret means different things in different countries, even in different services. The british maroon beret worn by the airborne was granted to a US airborne unit during WWII for their service, sure, but you take the same beret
kterris1 10 months ago
in the USAF, and it means something entirely different, the maroon/scarlet beret is worn by the elite pararescue jumpers. Likewise with the Tan beret, which is worn by the SAS, is worn by the Rangers in the US. by that logic the color beret would suggest the Rangers and SAS are on equal footing... clearly not the case.
I wouldn't say the swimmer canoeists form the british commandos, but rather a specialty branch, much like Ranger units which specialize in combat diving or HALO.
kterris1 10 months ago
@bighands69 It's simply an additional skill making the soldier more capable. In short, Rangers have a history with Commandos. Special Forces have history in the Devil's Brigade and the OSS who worked with the SAS. Seals have their history with the UDT teams of WWII. Comparable units as I see are Rangers=RMC, Special Forces/Delta=SAS, Seals,DEVGRU=SBS. To be fair the bread and butter of the Green Berets is a skill which I have yet to see in any countries special operations unit, which is they MO
kterris1 10 months ago
@kterris1
You have avoided my questions.
Why do US wear green berets and why do French commandos have a green heritage.
And where does British swimmer canoeists have their foundation of base.
bighands69 10 months ago
@bighands69 There's no real reason. Special Forces always did things differently. When they started to wear it, there was no official headgear for the US army, and the green berets wore it despite orders not to just to show they were different. Rangers did the same thing. Let me flip the question on you, why is it that the SAS wear a Tan beret, which is also worn by the Rangers? Rangers have a longer history dating back to colonial times... so does that mean the SAS adopted this? of course not.
kterris1 10 months ago
@bighands69 the color of a beret as I said, means different things in different countries. It makes sense the french commandos wear a green beret, because they were more heavily influenced by the UK after WWII. origins of certain colored berets mean different things to different people. Example, the tan beret worn by rangers is tan simply because no one else in the US army wears it, and it reflects the color of buckskin, dating back to Roger's Rangers, is this why the SAS wears it? NO!
kterris1 10 months ago
@bighands69 and the British Swimmer Canoeists? I'm assuming thats the SBS? Historically the SBS is compared to the Seal Teams. They tend to recruit from the RMC. to further my original claim about Rangers being comparable to the Commandos, during WWII when the Ranger program was being rebooted, The term commando was thrown around, but a British officer suggested the american commando unit needed a name that suggested commando, but sounded american, that's how the modern day Ranger was assigned.
kterris1 10 months ago
@bighands69 Now I know you're probably getting your info from wikipedia. Let me clarify, Green berets trace their heritage to the OSS, and many people think the OSS trained in europe. Common misconception. One of their biggest training bases was none other than the Congressional Golf Course in DC, strange as it sounds. There's only so many colors that can be used, so the use of the green beret by both RMC and special forces is purely coincidental. unless they wanted a hot pink beret... hmm
kterris1 10 months ago
@kterris1
I am a researcher of British naval history as well as British defense forces. I am also a previous serving member of Her Majesty's Armed Forces.
US green berets and navy seals have a foundational basis in British commando standards.
British SBS were not always special forces they were commandos that trained as Swimmer canoeist's.
US navy seals were based on early SBS that had commando structure. Navy seals have not upgrade there basic foundation beyond commando standards
bighands69 10 months ago
@bighands69 US greenberets and seals have a founded base in the OSS/1st Special Service Force, and the UDT's respectively. It is recognized that Seal training is one of the hardest special operations training in the world. Now if you have a source that says that the SEALs are founded on the RMC, then by all means share it. But based on their roles and missions, and even history. To reiterate, the role of the RMC is not comparable to that of the SEALs, it is comparable to the Rangers.
kterris1 10 months ago
@kterris1 your right. The US navy seals were created after inspiration from Britain's SBS and SAS.
duncdohntuz 10 months ago
@duncdohntuz they weren't created from inspiration, they evolved on their own from the UDT teams. Which is why they share some of the same roles, but have an entirely different way of operating, I think you're confusing this with Delta, which Charles Beckwith of Special Forces served with as an exchange officer, but even before that there was a history of tier 1 units, you had the OSS during WWII, the SOG in vietnam (these guys were probably the most effective unit to ever walk the earth) its a
kterris1 10 months ago
@duncdohntuz shame they didn't last, Then there was an interim unit between SOG and Delta called Special Forces Blue Light, which carried out much the same role.
kterris1 10 months ago
@bighands69 with the Rangers, the Rangers simply outperformed them. RMC and Rangers are both masters of Raids/Ambushes. Both operate behind enemy lines, both pride themselves in their superior physical fitness and tactical ability. And both have an illustrious history. WWII, Rangers fought with the Fairbairn Sykes Fighting knife showing their kinship with the Commandos. The capabilites of Seals are higher than that of Rangers and RMC. Seals are on the same tier as Special Forces, which are a cut
kterris1 10 months ago
@bighands69 above Rangers and Commandos. Let's take a look at hand to hand. Commandos have a history with the Fairbairn Sykes knife, and the Rangers dabbled with this in WWII, Though Rangers have a history with the tomahawk, dating back to colonial times. and they are still used today amongst them. But Rangers and RMC are historicall identical in their purpose. RMC may have some men trained to the ability of Seals, but Rangers have soldiers trained to the ability of Special Forces
kterris1 10 months ago
@bighands69 Let's take a look at it this way. Special Forces are tier 2, and their job is to 'win hearts and minds' which is often the job of the SAS in the UK. Seals are on the same tier as Special Forces, and there are far fewer of them than green berets. based on history, Rangers are a combination of the Paras, historically the RMC, and their relationship with Delta is reminiscent of SFSG of the UK. The 2 Special ops communities are different, but make no mistake Rangers are on par with RMC
kterris1 10 months ago
Just so people know
Royal Marines are the special operations unit of the Royal Navy, and have more in common with the US Rangers, considering they trained together in WWII,
USMC is it's on branch of the US military with it's own aviation, armor, and command structure, though it reports to the Secretary of the Navy.

I hate all the comments about people arguing about which fighting force is better USMC or the Royal Marines, personally I can't wait to join the RMCs but if I were an American I would want to join the marine corps

@pingergubes Its funny how the only people not arguing over who's better are the actual troops, yet the kids on you tube go crazy. Cant wait to be 18, respect for both branches.
