US Marines Deny Reports That They Were Trounced By The Royal Marines In Recent Exercises

The Marines' 'kill board', which assesses damage done to enemy assets, had a tick against nearly all American assets at one point, meaning it had been rendered inoperable or destroyed, reports revealed  

Daily Mail: DON'T tell it to the Marines! US elite force hits back at claims that British Royal Marines hammered them so badly in Mojave Desert war game that they were forced to surrender 

* Royal Marines commandos were said to have 'dominated' their American counterparts in a training exercise 

* They reportedly brought about a surrender just days into exercise Green Dagger in southern California 

* American combatants were said to have asked for the exercise to be 'reset' halfway through 

* US Marines now say 'winners' are never determined and there is no way to 'surrender,' 'keep score,' or 'reset' 

* But the Royal Marines had on October 30 published pictures of their combatants, writing: 'Victorious!' 

* And a 'kill board' keeps track of how the exercise is playing out as combatants use training ammunition 

US Marines have insisted they did not lose to the British during a war game in the Mojave Desert following reports they were forced into an embarrassing surrender. 

Royal Marines commandos were said to have 'dominated' their American counterparts and brought about a humiliating surrender just days into exercise Green Dagger - which featured a mock battle at the US Marine Corps' Twentynine Palms base in southern California. 

American combatants were reported to have asked for the exercise to be 'reset' halfway through, having taken significant casualties from British commandos.
