Meet Lieutenant Lily Mae Fisher, the only woman serving Commando in the UK Royal Navy.
Synopsis
Royal Navy Commandos are among the toughest soldiers, sailors and marines in the United Kingdom, having earned their badges only after completing an arduous qualification course. It takes physical endurance, mental toughness and no shortage of courage to qualify, and don the famous green beret of the UK Commandos.
Meet Lieutenant Lily-Mae Fisher, the only woman currently serving as a Commando in the Royal Navy.
While training to be a pilot in the Commando Helicopter Force, Fisher completed the 16-week All Arms Commando Course (AACC), which culminated in a 30-foot rope climb and 30-mile run. She’s one of only seven women in the history of the United Kingdom’s armed forces to earn the badge.
Footage includes Lieutenant Lily-Mae Fisher navigating an obstacle course and checking her equipment, showcasing her dedication and strength.
