The Whiskey Infantry Company was established on October 2, 1972 to provide Marines with cold weather experience and prepare them for the defense of NATO's northern flank. The company was integrated into the British 45 Commando Royal Marines. The unit was disbanded in 1990, but the expertise gained during this period forms part of the basis for the current Arctic knowledge and skills of the Marine Corps. Operating in these expeditionary conditions requires special skills and drills plus associated equipment in order to survive and fight. High demands were placed on skiing skills, specific equipment and the necessary physical and mental requirements. The W-Coy was also the largest parachute company in the Marine Corps, there were more paratrooper units but not in such a large organic context. This documentary tells the story of the men who were there in the early years and shows from their perspective how the Marine Corps went through a special development. The documentary was made by Joey van Meesen, MA. ⚓ Subscribe to not miss anything ⇨ https://bit.ly/KoninklijkeMarine_abon... ⚓ The Royal Netherlands Navy is committed to safety at and from the sea with its fleet and marines worldwide.
