Personnel on the Royal Marines 32-week Recruit course, 60-week RM Young Officers (RMYO) course, and the 9-week All Arms Commando Course (AACC) must lay out every single piece of their equipment (including rifle stripped down) in a clean and maintained condition ready for inspection everyday whilst on field exercises.

This ensures that personnel maintain high standards despite being cold, wet and fatigued. Equipment presented below the desired level initiates corrective advice followed by action, such as burpees to forward roles in the mud.
