>Royal Navy >Royal Air Force >British Army

The Navy has always been a single, national organisation. To defend his realm, Alfred the Great founded the English navy as a large but single unit. For his land forces, he relied on a number of armies supplied by the shires. thus, although not titled as such, the navy was truly 'Royal'. This pattern continued for centuries. The nobles had their own armies which were expected to rally round the sovereign in times of crisis. Indeed, the term 'The Army' did not come into use until the middle of the 17th century, by which time the Royal Navy had been established on a permanent basis for many years.

The commandoes (specifically, the 3rd Commando Brigade) are the members of the light infantry brigade of the royal marines.
Every royal marine commando is a royal marine, but not all royal marines are commandoes.

Bceause historically Marines were deployed to wherever through Navy ships.

>>2732534
They just used to be naval infantry at the beginning. Also, they aren't shock troops. It's not an actual concept anymore. They're just a second army with different legal obligations and requirements for deployment.

The army was the core of the organisation that fought against the monarchy in the Civil Wars of the 1600s. The Navy and RAF were founded under the auspices of the monarchy in the 20th century.

Stay mad people I share more blood with than other 'white' people of my proud nation

It's almost like the British Army is based on a different system than the navy (and then air force). As if they were following some kind of New Model or something...
