The British have a lot of success using special tactics and equipment against larger forces. Much of what We do employ already in our own Special operations have been learned from the British over a number of decades with WWII desert "Rat Patrol Type" of operations coming to mind. These small units can move about more easily and strike the enemy with often complete surprise, very fast response before the foe even knows what is happening. Also the ability to gather intelligence and even weaken enemy defenses in the process already has proved to work and they are still improving upon those sort of tactics. Once again We have a chance to learn from them.

LTC (Join to see) - That looks like quiet a program, seems they were thinking way ahead about special operations in more than one way. They were prepared to almost anything it seems and even right under the noses of the enemy.

If the Marines had better outfits for pregnant women, spent more time getting better fitting body armor for women and focused more on critical race theory this never would have happened!

Issue is invalid comparison. It was not about peer force vs. peer force. As a few others mentioned, UK's Royal Marines are equal to special operations instead of regular infantry.
