- US Marines recently took on Britain's Royal Marines in a battle simulation in the Mojave Desert.
- British commandos ****** their US counterparts to surrender before half time, The Telegraph said.
- The Royal Marines went from controlling 20% of the battle area to more than 65%, the newspaper said.
US Marines were driven into submission by their British counterparts during a training exercise held deep in the California desert last week, according to a report in Britain's Daily Telegraph newspaper.
The paper reported that the group of Royal Marines employed new tactics which helped them get the better of the American troops on home soil.
According to The Telegraph, Exercise Green Dagger involved the two nations facing off against each other in a dummy competition where the sides were tasked with taking out one another's assets.
The Royal Marines "dominated" the US in the five-day simulation, it said, with US forces asking to for a "reset" less than halfway through.
At one point, the Royal Marines had taken out or disabled almost all the US assets, the Telegraph said.
The Royal Navy told Insider that the victory was decisive.
In a statement it said that the mock battle "concluded with a last-minute 'enemy' assault which was repelled, leaving allied forces in control of over two thirds of the entire 'battlefield.'"
