Three Days With Marine Commandos.
I spent the first few days of this week sailing with and filming an Indian Navy Marine Commandos (MARCOS) unit for an report on special and amphibious operations for my channel. This is the closest I've ever gotten to the MARCOS. I spent days three days talking to them (all off the record, of course) and getting real insights into the training, tactics and doctrines of this amazing commando team. It is with their permission that I've put these photographs up.
It was truly a privilege sitting on the sun-dappled beach of Rutland Island, across the Macpherson Strait from the rest of the Andaman Islands, and exchanging stories with these men -- the MARCOS team I shot with was represented from all across the country -- from Orissa, Haryana, Punjab, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh. It was surreal listening to the amazing stories of survival training, a large part of special operations training.
My special thanks to MARCOS officer 'Sierra' for being so open about his men, and to the magarmachh unit at Rutland for welcoming an intrusive journalist with lots of questions.
