  • Your Career Guide
    ROYAL NAVAL RESERVE Your career guide YOUR ROLE | THE PEOPLE YOU’LL MEET | THE PLACES YOU’LL GO WELCOME For most people, the demands of a job and family life are enough. However, some have ambitions that go beyond the everyday. You may be one of them. In which case, you’re exactly the kind of person we’re looking for in the Royal Naval Reserve (RNR). The Royal Naval Reserve is a part-time force of civilian volunteers, who provide the Royal Navy with the additional trained people it needs at times of tension, humanitarian crisis, or conflict. As a Reservist, you’ll have to meet the same fitness and academic requirements, wear the same uniform, do much of the same training and, when needed, be deployed in the same places and situations as the regulars. Plus, you’ll be paid for the training and active service that you do. Serving with the Royal Naval Reserve is a unique way of life that attracts people from all backgrounds. For some, it’s a stepping stone to a Royal Navy career; for others, a chance to develop skills, knowledge and personal qualities that will help them in their civilian work. Many join simply because they want to be part of the Royal Navy but know they can’t commit to joining full-time. Taking on a vital military role alongside your existing family and work commitments requires a great deal of dedication, energy and enthusiasm. In return, we offer fantastic opportunities for adventure, travel, personal development and friendships that can last a lifetime.

  • Amphibious Warfare: Theory and Practice* Tomoyuki Ishizu
    Amphibious Warfare: Theory and Practice* Tomoyuki Ishizu Introduction In December 2013, the Government of Japan released its first “National Security Strategy” and announced the “National Defense Program Guidelines for FY 2014 and beyond.” The new Guidelines set forth the buildup of “dynamic joint defense force,” calling for a sufficient amphibious operations capability by means of amphibious vehicles and tilt-rotor aircraft, for example, to cope with potential enemy attack against any of Japan’s remote islands. This paper analyzes amphibious warfare from a historical viewpoint to show its major framework and concept. It is no wonder that the scale and form of amphibious operations may differ significantly among states depending on their national strategy, status of military power in the national strategy, military objectives, and historical or geographical conditions. The reason is that the national strategy, which is prescribed according to the national history, geography, culture and more, determines the role of the nation’s military force and way of fighting. With all these facts taken into account, this paper attempts to propose a general framework for examining amphibious warfare, especially for amphibious operations, and to sort out ideas and terms used in such operations. 1. What are Amphibious Operations? (1) The issues surrounding their definition The first issue that one inevitably encounters in examining amphibious operations is the ambiguity surrounding their definition. Without a uniform understanding of the meaning of amphibious operations and of their associated concepts and terminologies, the actual execution of operations will likely be met with difficulties. Nevertheless, a uniform understanding or a “common language” for the associated concepts and terminologies has not been arrived at, not even in the United States, which has conducted many amphibious operations.

  • History of the Royal Marines 1837-1914 HE Blumberg
    History of the Royal Marines 1837-1914 HE Blumberg (Minor editing by Alastair Donald) In preparing this Record I have consulted, wherever possible, the original reports, Battalion War and other Diaries, accounts in Globe and Laurel, etc. The War Office Official Accounts, where extant, the London Gazettes, and Orders in Council have been taken as the basis of events recounted, and I have made free use of the standard histories, eg History of the British Army (Fortescue), History of the Navy (Laird Clowes), Britain's Sea Soldiers (Field), etc. Also the Lives of Admirals and Generals bearing on the campaigns. The authorities consulted have been quoted for each campaign, in order that those desirous of making a fuller study can do so. I have made no pretence of writing a history or making comments, but I have tried to place on record all facts which can show the development of the Corps through the Nineteenth and early part of the Twentieth Centuries. H E BLUMBERG Devonport January, 1934 1 P A R T I 1837 – 1839 The Long Peace On 20 June, 1837, Her Majesty Queen Victoria ascended the Throne and commenced the long reign which was to bring such glory and honour to England, but the year found the fortunes of the Corps at a very low ebb. The numbers voted were 9007, but the RM Artillery had officially ceased to exist - a School of Laboratory and nominally two companies quartered at Fort Cumberland as part of the Portsmouth Division only being maintained. The Portsmouth Division were still in the old inadequate Clarence Barracks in the High Street; Plymouth and Chatham were in their present barracks, which had not then been enlarged to their present size, and Woolwich were in the western part of the Royal Artillery Barracks.

  • Royal Marines Reserve and the Career Opportunities the Royal Navy You’Re Probably Available to You
    YOUR ROLE THE PEOPLE YOU’LL MEET THE PLACES YOU’LL GO RESERVE CAREERSMARINES R OYAL WELCOME For most people, the demands of one job are enough. However, some of you need more of a challenge, and they don’t come much bigger than joining the Royal Marines Reserve. The Royal Marines Reserve is a part-time force of civilian volunteers, who give the Royal Marines extra manpower in times of peace and humanitarian crisis or war. You’ll be trained to the same standards as the regular Royal Marines, have to pass the same commando tests and, of course, wear the same coveted green beret. The obvious difference is that, as a Reservist, you combine service as a fully-trained Commando with your civilian career. It’s a unique way of life that attracts people from all backgrounds. But, the nature of commando training and service means we can’t just take anybody who fancies a challenge. We, and you, have to be absolutely sure it’s the right thing for you and that you’re physically and mentally up to the job. It’s a long, tough road to the green beret. But if you like the idea of travel, sport, adventure and, most importantly, the satisfaction of completing the world’s toughest military training and getting paid for it, this is where it begins. We wish you every success and look forward to welcoming you to the Royal Marines Reserve.

  • Book Review: 1 Recce–The Night Belongs to Us
    Scientia Militaria, South African Journal of Military Studies, Vol 46, Nr 2, 2018. doi: 10.5787/46-2-1239 Book Review 1 RECCE – THE NIGHT BELONGS TO US Alexander Strachan Abel Esterhuyse Stellenbosch University Cape Town: Tafelberg Publications 2018, 352 pages ISBN: 9780624081531 Combining the writing abilities of a seasoned literary author with the intricacies of a good military story is almost a guarantee for a good book. And this is precisely the case with 1 Recce – The night belongs to us. It is without doubt a well-written book and an outstanding read. The book fills a gap in the existing South African military historiography by documenting the story of the formation and building of 1 Reconnaissance Regiment of the former defence force to full operational capacity. Border War literature is experiencing an unprecedented boom at present. The reasons are diverse and complex. Publications about Special Forces – Recces as they are generally known in South Africa – are especially popular. The reasons for the popularity of Special Forces literature are quite obvious. In most cases, Special Forces literature contains all the basic elements of a good story: adventure, excitement, courage, unprecedented hardship, secrecy and heroes. And this is also the case with 1 Recce – The night belongs to us. The Border War, South Africa’s counterinsurgency campaign against SWAPO in Namibia and the country’s involvement in the Angolan civil war constitute the background against which Strachan’s story of the creation and growth of 1 Reconnaissance Commando as a military unit of the former South African Defence Force unfolds.
