Abstract:
The aim of the study was to investigate the operational effectiveness of Hunter Company, Commando Training Centre Royal Marines (RM) in rehabilitating injured RM recruits, through the collection of demographic, medical, and performance data for 1 year's intake of RM recruits (N=1115). Flow models for progression through mainstream training and through Hunter Company were developed. The data were analyzed to determine the week of training in which different injuries occurred and the duration and outcome of rehabilitation. Sixty prcent of ex-Hunter Company recruits were successfully returned to mainstream training and graduated successfully. Given that the median number of weeks in training before injury was 24 and the median time taken to recover from an injury was 14 weeks, it is more effective to rehabilitate a recruit in Hunter Company than to discharge him and replace him with a new recruit.
