EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of international partnership and military cooperation as British and French amphibious assault craft participate in Exercise Corsican Lion. The image showcases elements of 3 Commando Brigade Royal Marines engaging in a WADER training package on the picturesque French Island of Corsica. Against the backdrop of Solenzaro Beach, personnel from both nations come together to hone their skills in amphibious landing techniques using their respective crafts. This joint exercise not only strengthens bilateral ties but also fosters camaraderie between British and French servicemen. Exercise Corsican Lion holds great significance as it serves as a vital platform for testing the Maritime element of the Combined Joint Expeditionary Force's ability to project power from the sea. By demonstrating seamless coordination and effective deployment, these brave men exemplify their commitment to safeguarding national security interests. The photograph beautifully encapsulates this momentous occasion with its depiction of non-identifiable personnel maneuvering armored boats amidst crystal-clear Mediterranean waters. It symbolizes unity, strength, and unwavering dedication towards maintaining peace and stability within our shared region.
