Ex GREEN CLAYMORE 2020 is delivering a rigorous mountain warfare training package designed to; reinforce basic Commando skills, build understanding of the mountainous environment and its impact on warfighting operations, and enable the successful execution of Winter Deployment 21. Crucially, planning for Ex GC was done with the Future Commando Force (FCF) Concept in mind and has incorporated the trialling of 12-man team tactics and assault techniques. Ex GC is being undertaken in the Cairngorms National Park with ranks from across the Unit plus enablers
As a prelude to Winter Deployment 21 (WD21), Ex GC presents a significant opportunity to communicate the capabilities of the RM and the UK’s ability to conduct Cold Weather Warfare (CWW), whilst demonstrating fundamental skills of the Future Commando Force (FCF) concept.

The Arbroath-based Royal Marine Commando Unit are being put through their paces in the harsh Arctic conditions. As 3 Cdo Bde’s mountain and cold weather warfare specialists, WD20 will ensure that the Unit is ready in all respects to operate in one of the world’s most arduous environments.
As part of Ex CETUS, training for the Unit starts with the Cold Weather Warfare Course which teaches students the skills needed to operate in an Arctic environment. The course has three phases – survival, mobility and warfare, culminating in a final exercise which puts the newly-taught skills into practice. The Unit will then begin a period of Skills to Arms training, where each sub-unit will undertake their own bespoke training package, which includes working with other Royal Marine units and a variety of NATO allies.
WD20 will conclude with Exercise COLD RESPONSE, a large, multi-national NATO exercise which will build on from the success of BALTIC PROTECTOR 19. The exercise is spread over several weeks and will see Littoral Strike and Future Commando Force playing a key part, with the 45 Cdo Battlegroup operating from a variety of different platforms alongside other NATO partners.
