So clearly the guys more in the know than both of us know nothing at all either. Your dull of mind and arrogance once again proves you to be the jack ass of all time. Congrats.

Don't paint me with the same brush as you, you know nothing about me.
Dull mind and arrogance? Not at all, I just don't put up with little fuck wits like yourself.

Actually, I'm going by what other forums have supplied by others who have proven they know what they're talking about.

Ripped from another website.

Mountain Leaders are an elite cadre of Royal Marines who are experts in long range reconnaissance, arctic warfare and mountain climbing. As the The Mountain Leader Training Cadre (MLTC), their primary peacetime role is to teach their techniques to other Commando Troops and share their expertise with other military units. During wartime, the Mountain Leaders are able to provide an additional recce capability for 3 Commando Brigade, integrating with the Brigade Patrol Troop (BPT) Troop and each Commando's Recce Troop.

Mountain Leaders are not strictly-speaking Special Forces, even though their standards of selection and training are considered by some to be as hard, if not harder, than UKSF units. Mountain Leaders are under the control of 3 Commando Brigade, not UKSF.

3 CDO is Stonehouse Plymouth (next to 30CDO).


The Mountain Leaders course is one of the hardest in the British military, as indicated by its 20% pass rate. To gain the Mountain Leaders (ML2) specialty, a Royal Marine must go through an eight-month training course, starting with a week-long selection. An extensive and challenging training regime follows which features:

climbing cliffs
free climbing (without ropes)
mountaineering
survival
resistance to interrogation (RTI) training
ice climbing
arctic survival
arctic navigation
long distance skiing
Once qualified, a Mountain Leader (ML2) will usually be integrated into the Commandos, often into the Reconnaissance Troops.

Recon troop is also part of 3CDO, or at least there is a recon troop there.

Tbf, I have not seen any Cryye pants there.
If SF want recon, they do it themselves or call in SRR.
However, Im not saying they wont/dont but from experience they very very very very rarely do recon with SB/SA.

It always makes me smile that the AI article has become seen as the genuine article. As for Crye Gen II/MTP/a bin liner being worn, it matters not a jot. Wear something you can afford and use in a practical way. As for people making sweeping comments, and being 'ard, don't bother. It makes YOU look like a t*t, and by reflection the rest of us, as seen by the ARRSE thread. Agree to differ, behave and stop typing while angry.
As for ML's, they form the Brigade Patrol Troop, a 3 Commando Brigade asset, based as Sean says in RMB Stonehouse and are the most professional men going. BBC iplayer has the EXCELLENT 1985 series "Behind the Lines", all about the training of the ML2's.
