British Royal Marines and their Dutch counterparts waged a battle around the towns of Esbjerg and Varde in western Denmark, taking on Danish troops as part of a UK-led maritime force deployment. The action-packed commando raid on the west coast of Denmark focused on the first phase of the deployment - Danex or Danish Exercise - merging the different amphibious, naval, ground and air forces together in the western Baltic and eastern North Sea so they could seamlessly work as one. Each nation's helicopters and landing craft were testing different ships, while the task group fired different weapon systems and practised defending itself from attack - practising skills that are the building blocks of amphibious warfare. Royal Marines of 45 Commando and 30 Commando Information Exploitation Group, alongside Dutch, Danish and Norwegian allies, perfected helicopter raids, urban close quarters combat, the live firing of artillery and mortars, convoy and ambush tactics, and a dusk parachute drop. The training culminated in a spectacular night amphibious assault on a remote stretch of the Danish coastline.
