From the dangerous humanitarian and security mission "Operation Haven" after the 1990/91 Gulf War, through combat in Africa, Iraq, and Afghanistan, to Kyiv and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Royal Marines Commandos have been deployed time and again. These deployments led to new uniforms, weapons, equipment, tactics, and a new organizational structure, culminating in the creation of the Future Commando Force in 2020. This book focuses precisely on these changes, using in-depth text and striking, specially commissioned illustrations to document the evolution of the Royal Marines Commandos' uniforms, insignia, weapons, and equipment since 1991. Whether in landing craft, small boats, helicopters, by parachute, jetpack, or on foot, they appear where their adversaries least expect them. But first, they must complete the Commando Course and earn the coveted green beret.
