Default Royal Marines on exercise in USA

Gents, a recent article in The Sun reported an extraordinary exercise 'victory' by 100 Royal Marines against US troops numbered 1,500!

The exercise was held in California and was allegedly cut short owing the skill of our Royals over a numerically superior 'enemy'..

There were a few interesting photographs, one of which I attach. Shows nicely badges, zap patch and the new kit quite nicely.

I tried to attach a link, couldn't manage it I'm afraid.
