40 Commando Royal Marines Parade at Taunton 17th November 2010 

My son was amongst these returning . I am so proud .

Retired US Navy Hospital Corpsman who served many years as a Fleet Marine Force Corpsman with our Marines. Noticed at the end of the Dress Blues platoon a US sailor in Dress Blues marching in the same spot that I marched in when I was on parade with our Marines. Jealous, would of loved to be him.

Royal Marines 'units' are arranged into 6 Companies of approx 100 personnel. In this video you saw the band followed by the 'Colour Party' and the Commanding Officer. Next came one of the Companies in 'Blues', consisting of Marines, Junior NCOs, Senior NCOs a Warrant Officer and Officers. The Officers were carrying swords. They were followed by the other Companies wearing combat dress. There were also several non Royal Marines who were attached to 40 and are wearing their own uniform.

i dont care what nation they are from, but this is awesome

Good on you Royals! JIM thanks for posting this up.

Gonna get the application process started in a couple months, go to college, work on my fitness, and hopefully be one of the best soldiers this world has given birth to!

Everyeach one of them is tough as nails:) Respect !!!!!

I see the yank was really enthusiastic

The best soldiers in the world!

beautiful

There is another one at 5:53 at the front wearing Desert MARPAT and a Green Beret. Probably USMC exchange.

Ahh, interesting stuff. Thank you!

@rm1664crash That's my point, someone below said the SBS were Royal marines, I was mearly correcting them saying they go through special forces selection but SBS have to do more training.

There's only 5 or 6 officers in their blues the rest in blues or just regulars?

maximus and his legions support them 100%

@wallabingbangbo my thoughts exactly! respect

Sorry was having an argument on another video so alittle bit worked up. The SAS & SBS (Royal Marines Commandos) are they best special forces in the world. The Royal Marines are the best Marines in the world, the UK armed forces are well respected by other countries goverments. The UK forces main role is peace keeping

Damn fine marching.

& the Brits established the US Special Forces as well.

yes infact the usmc was based off of the Royal marines

Bump what is the name of the march as soon as they appear with the drums and the pipes called ?

I see a strong resemblance from the USMC dress blues to the Royal Marines uniform. Was the USMC uniform inspired by the Royal Marine uniform?

is they guy at 4:05 an amputee, it just looks like it is they way he is walking. If he is, i have a huge amount of respect :)

@boybettaknowspecial hahah nice spot ;) however it's not a beige beret as they would not be allowed on the same squadron as these guys, nor would he be allowed to parade.

Ich finde es toll das die British Army im eigenen Land Anerkennung bekommt und es gefeiert wird wen die heile aus ein Einsatz kommen , und nicht wie in Deutschland wenn man da zur Bundeswehr geht doof angekuckt wird und auf den Bahnhof noch doofe Sprüche bekommt .

very nice . pace

the one's in black are the officers (the ones in charge) of the soldiers (in camo)

You know what? I think yo're right.

There was a pale green berret in the first group, desert camo in the second and a blue berret in the third. Wth?

who are the ones that come first.. at 2:55.. Are they different to the ones in the camo, at 4:22?

why were some marines wore the black dress with the hat kind of thing and the others wore a green beret and a camo?

@clarkiiboii09 you don't think the SBS are the Royal Marine Commandos do you? SBS selection & training is harder than SAS, they're our best force.

3:34 casual American

No one noticed the American Sailor at 3:33?

The ones in the dress uniform are officers or generally high ranked marines. The ones in camo are just the general grunts. Not that I'd ever call one a grunt to his face though. He'd probably punch me so hard that I'd technically of never existed.

@ProdigeehFX no still rmc just in something called 'best blues' or your No.1s

any1 see The North Face??

How come officers have to wear there ceremonial unoiform But the normal guys just wear there greenies and combat ca mo

im the one that should be saying sorry because of this stupid conversation, becau se ur right! i tought that u were saying that the royal marines are the best troops in overall im sorry again they are the best marine special forces

no their not , roger that !

Just so everyone is clear, SAS & SBS are uksf and are the best in the world, they taught delta force & navy seals so ussf and uksf cannot be compared. Royal Marines are the best none special force fighting force in the world.

Ha! Not elegant, but eloquent...

im not saying that their not good , because they are, im just saying that there's other troops ( especial forces ) that are better. im not american , im portuguese but still the delta force are one of the best like the royal marines, so chill out dude

@aww hell no the ones that are in black dress are the guard of honour their role in this parade is to guard the colour of the corps you might call it a flag the ones in the camo are just on parade and don't have a particuler role

Yes they are. Now Leave.

Yeah, I know that ,I was jsut wondering about the uniforms since they looked so similar, but apparently the RM's uniforms are inspired by the USMC uniform. At least thats what TheShadowWOlf731 says.

no their not

The Yank coudn't march for a toffee.
