Plymouth is proud to have been the home of 29 Commando since the 1960s, based at the historic Citadel on the Hoe.
I visited 29, to see first hand the cutting-edge tech being used for training here.
The Joint Fires Synthetic Trainer is a system that saves the taxpayer money by allowing soldiers to train for front line combat whilst being on base and without live firing activities.
Having this equipment in Plymouth puts our city at the forefront of innovation in UK defence, and it is something to be very proud of.
