The Soldiers Who Keep The Paras And Royal Marines Running

Paratroopers and Royal Marine Commandos are considered to be elite roles within the British military.

For the past two months a group of these engineers have been in Cyprus carrying out a range of construction projects, on Exercise Pinestick.
