Commando Engineers
Commando Engineers train and fight alongside the Royal Marines, forming part of an elite fighting force uniquely capable of rapidly deploying around the world.
The Role:
Sapper Justin Dolly
Commando Engineer
Commando Engineers conduct specialist expeditionary operations, with individuals being trained in water-borne assaults and cliff-climbing, as well as desert, arctic and jungle warfare. The Commando Engineer has always been at the forefront of operations, providing key mobility, counter-mobility and survivability support on operations.
In addition, they are deployed on humanitarian and disaster relief missions, such as earthquake relief.
The Skills:
Commando Engineers are trained to operate in any environment all over the world, so you will learn the skills involved in the full spectrum of conflict. Individuals who volunteer for Commando training will need to pass the eight-week All Arms Commando Course, after receiving coaching and appropriate training.
Once passed, the Commando-trained soldier or officer has the right to wear the Green Beret, which recognises those who have completed the physically demanding tests of endurance while displaying the spirit of teamwork, cheerfulness and determination in adversity.
