<description><![CDATA[Formed as 45RM Commando in August 1943. World War 2 operations included Normandy landings, Rhein, Weser, Aller and Elbe crossings. Redesignated 45 Commando RM in March 1946. The post-war years saw the Commando deployed on operations to Palestine, Suez, Malaya, Aden and Cyprus. The Commando finally returned to the UK in 1967 after 24 years operational service abroad and moved to its current base in Arbroath in 1971. Since then they have been deployed in Northern Ireland, and, in 1982, the Commando took part in Operation Corporate, the recapture of the Falkland Islands. In 1991 it deployed to Northern Iraq on a humanitarian assistance mission and in 1994 it was dispatched to reinforce the Kuwaiti border against renewed Iraqi aggression. More recently the Commando has been deployed in Afghanistan.<br />
