The Engineers Keeping 539 Assault Squadron Ticking
The Scottish lochs and canals have been the location for a two week exercise for 539 Assault Squadron Royal Marines.
Exercise Raging Torrent might be led by the Royal Marines of 539 assault squadron, it's a team of Naval Engineers keeping the men and their boats in the water.
