Firstly thanks to all who responded and can I add that they don’t just served to protect the fleet they also have other functions and operate at a company level.
• Juliet – board and search.
• Kilo – assaults.
• Lima – ‘Joint Personnel Recovery’,
rescuing downed aircrew/British military
personnel/civilians in a hostile.
environment.
• Mike – additional force protection for
deployed Royal Navy/Royal Fleet Auxiliary
ships.
For example three seven-strong teams from Juliet were recently deployed in the Gulf aboard Her Majesty’s Ships Montrose, Kent and Defender as part of the effort to safeguard shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and the wider mission of general maritime security (such as intercepting drug-runners whose illegal trade funds international terrorism).
I knew it would be unlikely the Legion had something similar but this is also why I asked in another post about 2REP 3e CIE and to what extent they operate at an amphibious warfare company. Looking for transferable skills so to speak. I have my second vaccination and a PCR test coming up shortly so I will be able to travel freely and the amphibious warfare had never occur to me until somebody mention something recently. Apologies for the length of reply
