The operational role of the Royal Marines Band Service during the contingency era: lessons from Op GRITROCK
Abstract:
The Royal Marines Band Service (RMBS) deploys in support of the Royal Naval Medical Service in a variety of operational roles. This article describes the roles that RMBS personnel performed whilst deployed on board RFA ARGUS during the recent Operation GRITROCK. The article is divided into five main sections, each describing one aspect of the work that RMBS ranks were asked to undertake: casualty handling; working within Primary Casualty Receiving Facility (PCRF) departments; personal protective equipment (PPE) monitoring and drills; temperature monitoring; and last, but not least, musical support. This will provide the reader with an insight into what the RMBS have achieved whilst deployed on board ARGUS and also what skills they are able to bring, both to contingency operations and operations in the medical environment.
