Royal Navy Marines taking part in a simulated beach landing using Land Craft
Pictured are Royal Navy Marines taking part in a simulated beach landing using Landing Platform Dock ships. and Viking armoured vehicles. The Assault Ship HMS Bulwark is visable in the distance. The Marines were taking part in the NATO Exercise Trident Juncture.
Viking Armoured Vehicles provide protected battlefield mobility for the Royal Marines of 3 Commando Brigade. Designed for amphibious operations they have the ability to swim when required, either to land troops ashore, or to cross obstacles like rivers and lakes.
The Viking has the ability to move rapidly across the majority of terrain to outmanoeuvre the enemy.
Although the primary role of the Viking is in protected mobility for the Royal Marines, it is also often used in battlefield reconnaissance, fire support and as a command platform.
The role of the Landing Platform Dock ships, HMS Bulwark and HMS Albion, is to deliver the punch of the Royal Marines ashore by air and by sea, with boats from the landing dock in the belly of the ship and by assault helicopter from the two-spot flight deck. LPDs can carry 256 troops, with their vehicles and combat supplies, and this can be swollen up to 405 troops.
HMS Bulwark (L15) is able to flex her amphibious muscle to respond quickly to any crisis and world events.
The LCVP MK5 is 15.5 metres long and 4.3 metres wide and capable of carrying a close combat company of thirty five fully equipped Commandos (or vehicles such as the Viking). The LCVP MK5 can travel up to twenty-five knots and has a range of over two hundred and ten nautical miles

EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a powerful moment as Royal Navy Marines participate in a simulated beach landing during the NATO Exercise Trident Juncture. The marines are seen utilizing Land Craft, including Viking armoured vehicles, to ensure protected battlefield mobility for 3 Commando Brigade. Designed specifically for amphibious operations, the Viking armoured vehicles possess the unique ability to swim when necessary, enabling them to land troops ashore or cross obstacles such as rivers and lakes. With their rapid movement capabilities across various terrains, Vikings provide an advantage in outmaneuvering the enemy. In addition to protected mobility, they also serve purposes such as battlefield reconnaissance, fire support, and acting as a command platform. The role of Landing Platform Dock ships HMS Bulwark and HMS Albion is crucial in delivering the force of Royal Marines both by air and sea. These ships carry boats from their landing docks within their bellies and assault helicopters on their two-spot flight decks. Capable of accommodating up to 256 troops along with vehicles and combat supplies (expandable up to 405 troops), these LPDs play a vital role in responding swiftly to crises worldwide. Accompanying this impressive display is the LCVP MK5 boat which measures 15.5 meters long and 4.3 meters wide. This versatile vessel can transport thirty-five fully equipped Commandos or vehicles like the Viking at speeds of up to twenty-five knots over distances exceeding two hundred and ten nautical miles. Overall, this photo showcases the strength and readiness of Royal Navy Marines during training exercises while highlighting essential equipment that enables them to execute successful amphibious operations with precision.
