Dutch Marines silent forces, day or night

Marines practice landings with different types of vessels. They have the Landing Craft Vehicle Personnel and Landing Craft Rubber Motorized at their disposal to bring large or smaller groups of Marines to the destination. Nightvision shows the Corps silent capabilities. The Dutch Navy vessel Hr.Ms. Rotterdam and the 2nd Battalion Dutch Marines practice a widescale exercise off the southern coastal area of Great Britain. Its a first in which ship and Marines are tested and judged as an integrated amphibious unit. They train for their participation in NATO Response Forces and during this exercise they are scrutinized by the Flag Officer Sea Training (FROST) in Plymouth. It forms the traditional finale of a long preparation in advance of the real deal.
