The British Royal Marines, 43 Commando

"Per Mare Per Terram (By Sea By Land)"

Second World War:
Early Commando units were all from the British Army but by February 1942, the Royal Marines were asked to organize Commando units of their own, 43 Commando was formed in July 1943 after the decision was made to convert the battalions of the Royal Marine Division into commando units. The initial intake of personnel was drawn from the 2nd Battalion, Royal Marines, and following commando training, the unit consisted of about 450 men organized into a headquarters, five infantry troops, along with a heavy weapons troop—armed with Vickers machine guns, 3-inch mortars and 6-pounder anti-tank guns—and a signals platoon. 43 Commando formed the 2nd Special Service Brigade. Throughout the course of 1943–45, No. 43 (Royal Marine) Commando served in Italy, Yugoslavia and Greece.

Re-forming:
43 Commando RM was reformed between 1961–1968 for "as a further contribution to the forces available for seaborne operations". On 1 May 1980, the Comacchio Company Royal Marines was formed to guard the UK's Naval nuclear weapons and as a Maritime Counter-Terrorism unit for offshore installations. Taking its name from a Second World War battle honour, the Comacchio Company's purpose was deemed inappropriate for a Commando-level specification. Instead, the Comacchio Company was named after a battle fought in Comacchio, Italy, by Royal Marines in 1945, where Corporal Thomas Peck Hunter of 43 Commando posthumously received the Victoria Cross for his actions.
The Comacchio Company RM became Comacchio Group RM in November 1983 to reflect a manpower increase to over 400 Royal Marines. From 1987 onwards, Comacchio Group also ceased performing the Maritime Counter-Terrorism role, after a study transferred the task to the newly formed M-squadron of the Royal Marines Special Boat Service. The Comacchio Group RM was renamed Fleet Protection Group Royal Marines in March 2001, and was restructured into its current organisation.
The Group also moved from RM Condor in Arbroath Angus to HM Naval Base Clyde, which is situated near Helensburgh, Argyll and Bute. In 2004, rifle squadron P was renamed S squadron and the Group was further expanded to a complement of 530. In 2012, FPGRM formally adopted the name 43 Commando.
In 2016, it was announced that the whole unit would be using the Colt Canada C8 carbine instead of the standard L85A2.
