No. They're Dutch. They're wearing Dutch body armour and web gear. The RNLMC were (may still be) issued the British Arctic windproof smocks (especially for joint ex's the the RMs in Norway and Scotland). I'd guess that it's an ex in the UK and they're wearing borowed British Mk VI helmets because of the UK range safety rules (and the presence of the camera's) - we often wear CBA without helmets for range packages, so they may not have had theirs with them. Strange none the less.

Also notice their waterbottles: very Dutch!!

I am just a newbie on this site and I don't know very about army things!

I reckoned that these photo's were Dutch, so it seems!

What I do know, that British marines often work together with the Dutch marines!
