List of equipment of the Royal Marines

The Royal Marines are a highly specialised and adaptable light infantry force, a part of His Majesty's Naval Service.

As part of the Future Commando Force programme, the standard issue uniform since autumn 2020 has been an off-the-shelf design from Crye Precision featuring the company's MultiCam camouflage pattern.

It replaces the previously used Multi-Terrain Pattern Personal Clothing System uniform, which is still in use by the rest of the British Armed Forces.

[45] Will be replaced by the Future All-Terrain Vehicles (FATV) as part of the Collaborative All-Vehicle (CATV) programme, starting from February 2025.

[47] The turbocharged diesel vehicle can be used to carry supplies and equipment – like ammunition, water and fuel – for commando missions, but can also be fitted with machine guns and grenade launchers for added firepower.

The MRZR can be stored in the interior of Chinook helicopters, meaning that marines riding the vehicle can be quickly deployed to the mission area.

They are trained to use these snowmobiles to gather valuable information on the terrain, the enemy and suitable beach landing places for larger amphibious forces to come ashore.
