United Kingdom Commando Force

Between September and November 1943, in Scotland, 102nd Brigade, Royal Marines Division, was detached from the division, to form the independent 3rd Special Service Brigade – a joint British Army-Royal Marines formation. The founding commander was Brigadier Wilfrid Nonweiler and it was composed of the following units:{{cite web |url=http://www.burmastar.org.uk/commando.htm |title=Commando Units |website=Burma Star Association |access-date=6 August 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080705082222/http://www.burmastar.org.uk/commando.htm |archive-date=5 July 2008 |url-status=dead}}{{sfnp|Chappell|1996|p=28}}

• No. 1 Commando (Army);
• No. 5 Commando (Army);
• No. 42 Commando (Royal Marines); and
• No. 44 Commando (Royal Marines).

Nos. 1 and 5 Commandos had already earned battle honours as units in, respectively, the North African and Madagascar campaigns. Because "Commando", at the time, implied a company/battalion-sized unit, the name "Special Service" was instead used for British commando brigades. (However, the term "Commando Brigade" was often used informally, because "Special Service" was unpopular and had a superficial similarity to the name of the notorious German Schutzstaffel (SS).) The brigade was later officially renamed 3rd Commando Brigade.{{sfnp|Moreman|2008|p=32}}

On 10 November 1943, elements of the brigade embarked at Gourock, bound for India. It was intended that the brigade would be used in operations against Japanese forces in the South-East Asia theatre, such as the Burma campaign.{{sfnp|Chappell|1996|p=31}} However, the limited shipping capacity available at the time meant that the relocation was prolonged and the components of the brigade were not reunited until late 1944. Lt Col. Peter Young was transferred from the Normandy campaign to become second-in-command of 3rd Commando Brigade. Young succeeded Nonweiler as commander of the brigade.{{cite book |last=Durnford-Slater |first=John |author-link=John Durnford-Slater |title=Commando: Memoirs of a Fighting Commando in World War Two |orig-year=1953 |year=2002 |publisher=Greenhill Books |location=London |isbn=978-1-85367-479-2 |page=150}}

During January 1945, the brigade was involved in the campaign to recapture Arakan, including the battles of Myebon peninsula and Kangaw.{{sfnp|Chappell|1996|p=31}} The brigade was then withdrawn to India to prepare for Operation Zipper, a proposed amphibious operation to recapture the Malayan peninsula. The atomic bombs against Japan precipitated an earlier surrender of Japan than expected.{{sfnp|Chappell|1996|p=31}} The 3rd Commando Brigade moved to secure Hong Kong – a British crown colony that was under Japanese occupation in 1941–45.{{sfnp|Chappell|1996|p=31}} During 1946, British Army personnel and units within the 3rd Commando Brigade were demobilised or transferred elsewhere and it became a Royal Marine formation.{{sfnp|Chappell|1996|p=31}}

3 Commando Brigade's most high-profile operation after the war was the Suez Crisis, when it took part in the amphibious assault against Egyptian targets. During Operation Musketeer, units of the brigade made a helicopter-borne assault.{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/november/6/newsid_3115000/3115888.stm |title=1956: Allied Forces take control of Suez |website=BBC News |date=6 November 1956 |access-date=4 April 2016}}

1971 saw the withdrawal of British forces from the Far East and Persian Gulf. The brigade returned to the UK with other British units. It moved to Stonehouse Barracks in Plymouth, where it remains to this day.{{cite web |url=http://british-army-units1945on.co.uk/royal-marines/3-commando-brigade.html |title=3 Commando Brigade |website=British Army units 1945 on |access-date=4 April 2016}}

The brigade's next large operation was in 1982. Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands, and 3 Commando Brigade, reinforced by 2 Para and 3 Para, was one of the two main British land formations that took part in operations to recapture the islands. The brigade landed at San Carlos Water and marched across East Falkland to Stanley. Argentine units were defeated in several sharp engagements, and their forces surrendered on 14 June.{{cite web |url=http://www.naval-history.net/F23-Falklands-3_Commando_Brigade.htm |title=3 Commando Brigade |website=Naval History.net |access-date=4 April 2016}}

In the aftermath of the 1991 Gulf War, the brigade was deployed on a non-combat task in northern Iraq. The Iraqi Kurds had suffered immensely during the war and in its aftermath, and the brigade was used due to its rapid deployment ability. It provided humanitarian aid to the Kurds and saved many from starvation.{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/july/14/newsid_2503000/2503447.stm |title=1991: UK forces withdraw from Kurdish haven |work=BBC News |access-date=10 October 2008 |date=14 July 1991}}

Recently, the brigade has been involved in two major campaigns, including Operation Veritas in Afghanistan, 2001 and 2002, and Operation Telic during the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Iraq, however, saw heavy fighting occur in the early stages of the campaign, as the brigade made its first amphibious assault in over 20 years by landing on the Al-Faw peninsula in south-east Iraq.{{cite news |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/1425244/Marines-spearhead-the-invasion-with-lightning-attack.html |title=Marines spearhead the invasion with lightning attack |date=21 March 2003 |work=The Daily Telegraph |access-date=4 April 2016}} In 2006, the brigade returned to Afghanistan on Operation Herrick, replacing 16 Air Assault Brigade, where intense fighting occurred.{{cite web |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/devon/content/articles/2006/07/27/royal_marines_afghanistan_feature.shtml |title=Commandos ready to face the Taliban |date=27 July 2006 |website=BBC News |access-date=4 April 2016}}

In 2022, 3 Commando Brigade was rebranded to the United Kingdom Commando Force (UKCF), a process that started in 2020 and completed in 2024.{{Cite web |date=2024-06-14 |title=Strike from the sea – developing the UK Commando Force {{!}} Navy Lookout |url=https://www.navylookout.com/strike-from-the-sea-developing-the-uk-commando-force/ |access-date=2024-08-17 |website=www.navylookout.com |language=en-GB}}

The UK Commando Force contains Royal Marines, Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force personnel. When operating as part of the combined United Kingdom / Netherlands Landing Force, the 1st Marine Combat Group of the Dutch Korps Mariniers is also attached to the brigade.{{Cite journal |last=van der Peet |first=Anselm |date=2023 |title=United Kingdom-Netherlands amphibious force's 50-years jubilee |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/48761736 |journal=Atlantisch Perspectief |volume=47 |issue=4 |pages=17–21 |jstor=48761736 |issn=0167-1847}}

Formerly known as the Amphibious Ready Group, the Amphibious Task Group (ATG) is a mobile, balanced amphibious warfare force, based on a Commando Group and its supporting assets, that can be kept at high readiness to deploy into an area of operations. The ATG was normally based around specialist amphibious ships, such as the former {{HMS|Ocean|L12|6}}, the only helicopter carrier in the British fleet until she was decommissioned and sold to Brazil in 2018. Ocean was designed and built to accommodate an embarked commando and its associated stores and equipment. The strategy of the ATG is to wait "beyond the horizon" and then deploy swiftly as directed by HM Government. The whole amphibious force is intended to be self-sustaining and capable of operating without host-nation support. The concept was successfully tested in operations in Sierra Leone.[http://www.royal-navy.mod.uk/training-and-people/the-rn-today/navy-command-headquarters/fleet-battle-staff/comukamphibfor/index.htm COMUKAMPHIBFOR General Description] {{webarchive|url=http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20110316102255/http://www.royal-navy.mod.uk/training-and-people/the-rn-today/navy-command-headquarters/fleet-battle-staff/comukamphibfor/index.htm |date=16 March 2011 }}

Since the disposal of both HMS Ocean and, in 2024/25, the Albion class assault ships, British amphibious forces are reliant on deployment from the Queen Elizabeth class aircraft carriers and from amphibious warfare vessels of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary. Aircraft of the Commando Helicopter Force can be accommodated on these vessels.{{cite web|url=https://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/news/2021/april/27/210427-merlins-arrive-on-carrier|title=Merlin helicopters arrive on HMS Queen Elizabeth ahead of landmark deployment|publisher=Royal Navy|access-date=28 December 2024}}

The Commando Helicopter Force (CHF) forms part of the Fleet Air Arm. It comprises three helicopter squadrons and is commanded by Joint Aviation Command (JAC).{{cite web |url=http://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/operations-and-support/establishments/naval-bases-and-air-stations/rnas-yeovilton/commando-helicopter-force/ |title=Commando Helicopter Force webpage |access-date=17 June 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090624083620/http://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/operations-and-support/establishments/naval-bases-and-air-stations/rnas-yeovilton/commando-helicopter-force/ |archive-date=24 June 2009 |url-status=live }}

CHF is neither under the permanent control of Headquarters Commando Forces nor that of the Commandant General Royal Marines, but rather is allocated to support Commando units as required by JAC. It uses both Merlin HC4/4A medium-lift and Wildcat AH1 light transport/reconnaissance helicopters to provide aviation support to Commando Forces.{{cite web|url=http://www.janes.com/article/51218/the-847-naval-air-squadron-transitions-to-the-agustawestland-wildcat-ah-1-helicopter-interview-with-major-david-sutton-royal-marines-senior-pilot|title=The 847 Naval Air Squadron transitions to the AgustaWestland Wildcat AH.1 helicopter Interview with Major David Sutton Royal Marines, Senior Pilot|date=7 May 2015|publisher=Janes|accessdate=30 December 2017}}
