As part of my HO to the new CO and conscious of social distancing, it gave me great pleasure to introduce him to one of the leaders of the local community: His Worshipfulness, Mayor Alan Rennles of Barnstaple. I wish the Regt and the local community further success together.
Now then, I close by wishing my successor & his team the very best in the coming years. Go well you Regulars, Reservists and Civilians of CLR; in Chivenor, Bovington & Derriford; from across the UK and Commonwealth. Stay safe at home and when deployed across the World. #thankyou

Today, our Officers and SNCO’s moved on to Ex BOSA NOVA. This provided an opportunity to revise staff in Logistic Task Group SOI’s and understand the planning process, in order to meet Lead Commando Unit requirements. @MajGenHolmes
We are always learning and today as part of Ex DOCTRINE DRAGON, our Sqns shared their capabilities with the wider Regiment creating a better understanding at all levels, facilitating development in to the future, especially for #FutureCommandoForce. @MajGenHolmes @RoyalMarines
Last week 3Tp conducted Ex BLACK DAGGER, a section level tactics package. This gave senior Mne’s the opportunity to step into command, whilst JNCO’s stepped back into coaching and mentoring their section through offensive patrolling and reconnaissance actions. 🗡
