Hi. I'm Jonathan/Jon/Jonny/Jay/Jo-Face, and will even respond to 'Hey you!', 'Boy', or, but my preference remains 'My Lord'.

539 Assault Squadron Royal Marines is a vital link in the Corps’ chain, allowing 3 Commando Brigade to transfer onto land from the sea or river. It can operate amphibious Viking vehicles to deliver force into territories, something which the unit has done several times since it was created in the aftermath of the Falklands War. The unit served with distinction in Iraq’s Al Faw peninsula during operations in the last decade, but it has also operated around the world with the Royal Navy’s amphibious ships HMS Albion and HMS Bulwark and the helicopter carrier HMS Ocean. In September 2010 members of 539 carried out a series of landing exercises with Brazilian Marines near Rio, showing the global activity of the squadron.
