Royal Marines ice climbing
Royal Marines training.
Aspiring Royal Marines Mountain Leaders provide protection as their colleagues use Ice Axes to ascend an Ice Wall.
In a discrete location in Western Norway, Royal Marines of the Mountain Leaders Branch train in Snow and Ice Climbing, a method of Vertical Assault, enabling otherwise impassable mountain obstacles to remain viable options to conduct offensive operations. This fundamental tenet provides a tactical advantage for the UK Defence’s High Readiness Force in the ongoing transformation of the Future Commando Force, ensuring the Royal Marines are prepared for all the challenges in the future across all terrains, the urban environment, jungle, high plains, arid mountains as well as the Arctic.
The Mountain Leaders are the UK’s Mountain and Cold Weather experts, enabling Commandos and other elements of Defence with the mission critical training required to operate safely in the harshest of terrains by making the Specialists comfortable with uncertainty. In addition to their primary role as Mountain and Cold Weather experts, they’re Operational role is Reconnaissance and Surveillance, capable of operating behind enemy lines. As they did during the Falkland Islands (1982) and in more recent times, during the invasion into Southern Iraq (2003) and Counter Insurgency operations across Afghanistan.
The unique skill set provided by Mountain Leaders, gives the Royal Marines a high level of differentiation across Defence, ensuring they can deploy at short notice with an unrivalled skill set to operate in any Mountainous or Cold Weather environment - proving an invaluable asset to both NATO and JEF partner nations.
Their capabilities are in high demand, attracting hand-selected students from the Dutch Marines and Norwegian Army. During their winter deployment to Western Norway, they have been joined by a specialist Unit from the Chilean Armed Forces, providing an ideal setting to share best practices.

Image of a F-35 Lightning aircraft from 617 Squadron (Sqn) from RAF Marham, undergoing general post flight checks at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada.
The Sqn took part in Exercise RED FLAG 20-1, a premier multi-national combat training exercise which is conducted on the vast bombing ranges of the Nevada Test and Training Area. This is the first time that the UK's F35 Lightnings have taken part in Exercise RED FLAG which will see them flying alongside a variety of aircraft from other nations, providing aircrews the experience of multiple, intensive air combat sorties in the safety of a training environment to maximise combat readiness, capability and interoperability.
RAF Marham Station Commander, Group Captain Beck said "This is another first for the Lightning Force and will give the opportunity for our pilots to really put the F-35s to the test in a combat representative environment. This training is as near to high-end operational flying as our pilots can get in a controlled environment and will really test them and the teams that support the Squadron."
Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, is one of the largest fighter bases in the world. Aircraft from Nellis operate on the Nevada Test and Training Range, which offers more than 15,000 square miles of airspace and 4,700 square miles of restricted land, allowing them to conduct advanced combat training, performs operational test and evaluation, and develops tactics.

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.

From the 20th to 22nd of January 2020, members of the Queen's Colour Squadron (QCS) - known as 63 Squadron RAF Regiment in their field role - undertook a series of training and exercise scenarios at Barry Buddon Training Area near Dundee, Scotland.
The squadron was broken down into its respective sections and fireteams, allowing those present to stay current and experienced in terms of valuable infantry skills. The various fireteams conducted simulated scenarios in which they would come into contact with an 'enemy' and had to respond proportionally and effectively.
QCS are the custodian of the Queen’s Colour for the RAF in the United Kingdom and have the honour of providing the Escort Squadron whenever the Colour is paraded. They regularly participate in high level ceremonial duties involving The Royals and members of Parliament. They also rotate on a regular basis with the Navy and British Army to guard Buckingham Palace.

The crew of HMS Montrose are seen here carrying out a man overboard exercise (MOBEX), using a rigid hull inflatable boat.
On Sunday 19th January 2020 HMS MONTROSE (stbd) conducted a man overboard exercise (MOBEX) after sailing from Bahrain.
A MOBEX is always required within 24 hours of a ship sailing from harbour. In the event that a man falls over the side of the ship into the water, an alert will be made and whole ships reactions will be required. A MOBEX is not only carried out after sailing from harbour, they are part of regular training and part of life on board a warship.
HMS MONTROSE is currently carrying out duties patrolling the Gulf, keeping the shipping lanes safe and ensuring that international trade is not threatened. In the first two months on patrol in 2019 HMS MONTROSE safeguarded over 6 million tonnes of British Shipping. HMS MONTROSE is also carrying out counter narcotic operations for CTF 150.
HMS MONTROSE is a type 23 frigate originally based in Plymouth and is the Royal Navy’s forward operating ship based out in the Gulf for the upcoming years and works on a watch rotation basis.

A young member of the Household Cavalry is seen here on guard at Horse Guards Parade in London today (16/01/2020).
Defence Minister for Germany, Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, visited the UK today. Her visit began this morning with a Guard of Honour provided by No 7 Company Coldstream Guards with musical support from The Band of the Irish Guards on Horse Guards Parade, and a meeting in the historic rooms of the Army’s London headquarters.
The German Defence Minister was met in the front yard of the historic Horse Guards building by the Secretary of State for UK Defence Ben Wallace and Major General Christopher John Ghika CBE.
She then moved to Horse Guards Parade where she was invited to inspect the Guard of Honour by Captain Piers Gamberini in fluent German.
The Defence Ministers went into the Horse Guards Building to hold their meeting in rooms that historically were used by the Duke of Wellington when he commanded the British Army and considered the forces now unified under modern Germany as his greatest military allies.© MOD Crown Copyright / eyevine

Over the last 4 years the UK has had 300 personnel deployed to the UN mission in South Sudan. This highly successful deployment has built 2 hospitals and upgraded local infrastructure including schools, prisons and bridges.
To help prevent sexual violence UK personnel have upgraded 16 kilometres of roads so local women can safely travel to collect food and water. This activity has contributed to preventing instances of sexual violence along the route. Complementing this, the UK troops have provided self-defence classes to over 300 women in the Protection of Civilian camp, along with training on women’s rights.© MOD Crown Copyright / eyevine

RAF 2020 photo competition. A F-35 Lightning Pilot from 207 Sqn - Operational Conversion Unit (OCU) at RAF Marham. OCU supports preparation for the operational missions of F-35 by providing trained personnel, teach pilots how to fly an aircraft and which tactics best exploit the performance of their aircraft and its weapons.
The F-35’s Helmet Mounted Display Systems provide pilots with unprecedented situational awareness. All the information pilots need to complete their missions – airspeed, heading, altitude, targeting information and warnings – is projected on the helmet’s visor, rather than on a traditional Heads-up Display. This approach greatly reduces the pilot’s workload and increases responsiveness. Additionally, the F-35’s Distributed Aperture System (DAS) streams real-time imagery from six infrared cameras mounted around the aircraft to the helmet, allowing pilots to “look through” the airframe. The helmet also provides pilots night vision through the use of an integrated camera.

Ex-Google worker fears 'killer robots' could cause mass atrocities. Engineer who quit over military drone project warns AI might also accidentally start a war
Ex-Google worker fears 'killer robots' could cause mass atrocities. Engineer who quit over military drone project warns AI might also accidentally start a war. A new generation of autonomous weapons or “killer robots” could accidentally start a war or cause mass atrocities, a former top Google software engineer has warned. Laura Nolan, who resigned from Google last year in protest at being sent to work on a project to dramatically enhance US military drone technology, has called for all AI killing machines not operated by humans to be banned. Nolan said killer robots not guided by human remote control should be outlawed by the same type of international treaty that bans chemical weapons. Unlike drones, which are controlled by military teams often thousands of miles away from where the flying weapon is being deployed, Nolan said killer robots have the potential to do “calamitous things that they were not originally programmed for”. There is no suggestion that Google is involved in the development of autonomous weapons systems. Last month a UN panel of government experts debated autonomous weapons and found Google to be eschewing AI for use in weapons systems and engaging in best practice. Pictured: Laura Nolan former Google employee.
