  • Phase 2

    • Having successfully passed out of Young Officer training, your first job will be as a Troop Commander at either one of the Commando Units (40, 42 or 45); or a Troop Commander at Fleet Protection Group Royal Marines; or the Commando Logistics Regiment.

      All roles will require you to use every bit of your Phase 1 training, and you will also be faced with a whole host of new and rewarding challenges.

      You will be in charge of a troop of around thirty men, most of whom will have several years experience in the Corps. You should not be daunted by this as you will have a Troop Sergeant as your second in command who will offer you advice and support throughout this period.

      The Troop Sergeant will have seen many YO’s coming through and will be a valuable source of information. You will also have three very capable Corporals who will be your link to the Marines under your command. They play an important part in the day to day running of the troop and as such you should ensure that you work closely together.

      Throughout your time as a Troop Commander you may be deployed on military operations to Iraq or Afghanistan. Your training will have fully prepared you for this and you and the men in your troop will have undergone a period of training before the deployment to ensure that you are trained to the highest standards.

      If you do not deploy on military operations you will still need to lead your troop whether on training exercises or on camp. You will work with your Troop Sergeant and Company Commander to develop a robust and rewarding exercise programme to ensure your men remain highly trained.

      During your time you may deploy on several exercises to Norway, America, the Caribbean or Europe, and have the chance to work with other multi-national forces. All environments will bring with them a new challenge and a new experience, all of which will ensure you become a better Officer.

      As a Troop Commander you will work directly to the Company Commander (a Major) who will direct you as to how he wants training to be conducted. There will be another two of your batch mates in the same Company so you will never be alone - and sharing your successes and problems over a drink in the Officers’ Mess will help all.

      Your time as a Troop Commander will be one of the many highlights of your career. The men you command will be highly motivated, highly capable and will respect your decisions and abilities as an Officer in the Royal Marines.
