The Royal Marines are the Armed Forces’ Extreme Cold Weather experts and have a fleet of 184 snowmobiles, which are known as Over Snow Reconnaissance Vehicles.

The Ministry of Defence does not routinely disclose a breakdown of the location of equipment capabilities, or the operational readiness of our fleet, in the interests of safeguarding security and operational effectiveness.
