Today, we asked them, "What were your highlights of the making of Platoon?"

It's just the third time in history, a non-UK unit takes over duties as The King's Life Guard.

The duty was passed from the UK's Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment to the Canadian regiment, Lord Strathcona's Horse.

A key part of our RIFLES characteristics is knowing that “We Are Skilled”, and training is crucial for keeping our skillsets sharp and ready for the battlefields of the future.

I am tracking some noise on social media about changing standards required to achieve the Green Beret.

I know the dedication, drive and grit required to complete the arduous Commando tests… I speak from experience. I have completed the Commando course not once, but twice; first as a Marine and then again as a Young Officer

I therefore want to be very clear that the standards expected to pass the Royal Marines Commando Course have not, and will not change.

An issue close to every Royal Marines’ heart, and something I track very closely.
