French Amphibious Assault tactics
I don't think the USMC has to worry about these guys poaching on their turf.

That being said, I think the instructors involved may be playing a joke on these guys. The camera dead center in front of the landing and the giggling in the back ground kind of makes me suspect foul play.

Comealong or something. I don't know whose troops they are, look kind of like British helmets. The weapons are pretty tough to make out coated with the slime.

The weapons are SA80s which means the troops are British.

One can tell immediately that they're not really French troops.

There's no white flag.
