The Surveillance and Reconnaissance Squadron (SRS), primarily made up of Royal Marines from 30 Commando Information Exploitation Group, is dubbed the eyes and ears of the UK Commando Force.

Their focus is to gather information on the enemy and topography, so either larger amphibious forces can follow or lethal Royal Marine strike teams can carry out their operations.

It is not the role of SRS to be part of long firefights but they could come under attack, so it is important they practise getting out of an area and back to their boats as quickly as possible.
