The official document Amphibious Warfare Handbook No. 10a: The
Organisation, Employment and Training of Commandos is a unique
piece of post-war Royal Marines Commando doctrine, never before
published, or quoted at length. Prepared in 1951 at the height of
the Korean War by the Chief of Amphibious Warfare and the
Commandant General Royal Marines, this seventy-page aide memoir is,
in essence, the distillation of major lessons learned by the
British wartime Combined Operations Headquarters regarding
amphibious warfare, raiding, cliff assaults, sabotage,
intelligence-gathering, specialized infantry work, guerrilla
warfare and Commando tactics. In addition, it offers its readership
a delineation of the characteristics, skills and qualities required
of a Royal Marines Commando. Published to mark the seventieth
anniversary of its official issue, this rare example of bespoke
Commando doctrine is a timely and highly relevant addition to a
growing body of work on The Corps of Royal Marines. Currently
undergoing significant institutional changes by means of the Future
Commando Force (FCF) program, the Royal Marines are having to
challenge their existing operating concept, force structures,
doctrine, and organizational design to meet the emerging defense
challenges of the 21st century. It serves to remind those currently
evolving the FCF concept of General Sir John Hackett's advice,
namely, "To see where we are going, we must know where we are, and
to know where we are, we need to discover how we got here."
