Basic Combat Training comes in three phases and lasts about ten weeks, depending on your military occupational specialty (MOS). After you graduate from basic training, you will undergo two additional phases of training, known as Advanced Individual Training, where you will learn the job skills required of your MOS.
Basic Combat Training, often known as “boot camp”, is your introduction to Army service, and where you will learn the traditions, tactics and methods of becoming a Soldier. During Basic, you’ll learn how to work as a member of a team to accomplish tasks. You’ll learn discipline, including proper dress, marching, and grooming standards.

Warrior Tasks come in four forms, and involve mastering individual Soldier skills, while Battle Drills are team-based tactical skills.

The obstacle course alternates low obstacles with high obstacles. Between every obstacle is a low log, about three feet high, to set the pace.
There are three Marines in the video, all instructors at the Officer Candidate School in Quantico, Virginia. They train the men and women who will lead Marines in training, on deployment, and in battle. This is one of the best video breakdowns of the obstacle course.
There are currently three courses a year and Commando aspirants are allowed no more than three attempts to pass the AACC.
The AACC is the only recognised route for regular members of the UK military outside of the RM to become Commando trained. The AACC is open to male and female officers and other ranks of the UK, except for RM recruits who undertake the 32-week RM recruit course.
RM training is pretty unique in that both officers and other ranks complete their initial training at the same venue, the Commando Training Centre Royal Marines (CTCRM), Lympstone in Devon. Non-Royal Marines personnel who have completed their initial training are not required to attend the RM recruit course; instead they must attend and pass ...
The British Commandos were formed during the Second World War (WW2) in June 1940, following a request from the British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, for a force that could carry out raids against German-occupied Europe. Initially drawn from within the British Army, from soldiers who volunteered for the Special Service Brigade, the Commandos’ ranks would eventually be filled by members of all branches of the Armed Forces of the United Kingdom (Royal Navy, Royal Air Force and even the Royal Marines) and a number of foreign volunteers from German-occupied countries.
The Fairburn Sykes Commando dagger was first produced in 1941 by Wilkinson Sword. It was designed as a thrusting weapon and conceived by William Fairburn and Eric Sykes who, during their time in the Shanghai Municipal Police, developed an unarmed fighting system for use in combat that was taught to the Commando Units during WW2.
The aim of the AACC is to prepare Royal Navy (RN), Army and Royal Air Force (RAF), and selected foreign, personnel for service with 3 Commando Brigade RM by developing the temperament, mental resolve, physical robustness and core military skills necessary in the demanding environment of expeditionary and littoral operations.
Elite Forces, like the Royal Marines and the Parachute Regiment, are characterised by the determination of the group to carry through with the mission as a group . This is in contrast to Special Forces who are characterised by the determination of each individual to carry through with the mission even if they be the last one standing.
