President William Ruto will host King Charles III at the Mtongwe Naval Base, where a program showcasing Kenya's first Marine Commando Unit, trained by the British Royal Marines, is set to take place.

As Captain General of the Royal Marines, the King, along with The Queen, will receive a ceremonial welcome at the Mtongwe Naval Base. During this visit, Their Majesties will have the opportunity to witness the Kenyan Marines, who were trained by the Royal Marines, demonstrate a covert beach landing, highlighting the tangible results of defense collaboration.

Notably, a 10-strong specialist training team from the Royal Marines' 40 Commando provided intensive training for 26 Kenyan Marines over a span of 12 weeks. The first cohort of the newly established Kenyan Marine Commando Unit successfully completed this rigorous training on May 5. The ultimate goal is to transform the KMCU into an elite fighting force capable of executing specialized amphibious operations to weaken and disrupt threats within the region.

This partnership with the Royal Navy encompasses various training programs in the UK, as well as deploying training teams to Kenya.
