British commandos have trialed using dogs to supply troops operating deep behind enemy lines with ammunition and food in the Arctic Circle.
Specialists from Chivenor-based Commando Logistic Regiment and the Commando Helicopter Force’s Ground Mobility Troop trained with the huskies deployment to Northern Norway to look at how the dogs could be used on high-risk supply runs into Russia.
Known as a Combat Service Support Squadron, the group of Royal Marines and Army Commandos are responsible for punching through the front lines and quickly supplying advanced commando raiding parties with ammunition, fuel, food and medical kit.
Whisky Squadron is made up of expert engineers, logicians and drivers as well as protection troops well-armed with heavy and grenade machine guns, taking lessons from Russia’s war in Ukraine on the way in which logistics has continued to evolve on the battlefield.
Mainly operating at night, the squadron uses various methods to reach the raiding teams – on foot, skis or snowmobiles or in some cases using tracked vehicles and trucks depending on the delivery size. The emphasis is on speed and remaining hidden.
The commandos looked at how sleds pulled by huskies – known for their strength and endurance – could help deliver supplies to troops, making considerations on the types of operations canine companions could be deployed on.

Called the UK Defence Journal it is an out and out propaganda outlet although it says its “independent ” I cant find an British Defence Journal . The UK can hardly afford to spend 2.5 % of its GDP and that journal states the UK defence industry might be owned by the USA in the future. As regards the Royal Marines “punching” their way into Russia the author seems to be smoking the same strong smelling -brain altering cigarettes as the Tory Cabinet smoke. Something to note –all the actual nukes for the submarines are located in Scotland –far away… Read more »
It is actually called UK Defense Journal. But it sounds like misleading, purposing the battle of words, like when its about (glorifying) the narrative calls it GB, and when it has to do with unpopular issues they refer to UK.
Thank you for that Baronmaya -I tried Tor and even a VPN but never came up. There was a subsidiary of the UKJ starting with British but but it is now obsolete.
Just been watching the Russian Victory Parade on of all things YouTube courtesy of CNN- channel 18 news -funny blocked in the UK but America allows it -no I didn’t sign in its full of childish comments .
May 9 Victory Day.
