Some folks need to get a sense of humor.
Now back to the Thread Topic.....
It would appear the UK SpecOps community are beginning to use a similar organizational setup that the US SpecOps Command does.....as we also built up USMC Special Operations capability and have dedicated Air Support from ALL the branches involved in a joint coordinated command structure.
The World has changed a bit of late....due to the successes of Allied Counter-Terrorism efforts....and the coming threat is by Russia and China so it makes good sense to look ahead as best we can to tailor our capability to combat the growing threat of both adversaries.
USMC Raiders/MARSOC aside, the Marine Corps Commandant has directed a radical shift in philosophy and direction of the Corps as a whole. Gone will be counter insurgency and large land warfare and in is good ole fashioned island hopping. I wonder who has islands in need of raiding these days? UK doesn’t have oil, so they’re out, who else…hmmm…
