UK Royal Navy/Marines Joint Personnel Recovery Infographic

The Royal Marines are following the USMC in developing Littoral Groups. What continues to mystify me is that while everything is bieng oriented toward the sea battle, you still have stuff like this. TRAP Ops are still configured and oriented toward recovering personnel on land. It makes no sense. I would think that saving personnel at sea, whether from boats/ships or aircraft (and I'm talking about dozens of people or more) would be where both services were pivoting to.

This infographic helps to explain the multi-faceted approach required for delivering a successful recovery of downed aircrew and security of UK equipment.👇
