Yomp

Yomp er Royal Marines' slang for langdistance-marcher i kuperet terræn, med fuld udrustning. Det står for Your Own Marching Pace (dansk: dit eget marchtempo) og er ikke en typisk parademarch i takt eller i geledder. Kom til offentlighedens bevidsthed under falklandskrigen i 1982 og blev fejlagtig anvendt for alle britiske elitesoldaters 90 km march med 36 kg oppakning fra brohovedet Port San Carlos til de argentinske stillinger ved Stanley[1].

I årene efter falklandskrigen blev yomp også brugt af civile vandreklubber. I dag er udtrykket stadigvæk en naturlig del af militær-slang hos alle britiske enheder, der benytter udtrykket efter fri fortolkning.

Den britiske hær bruger udtrykket Tab, Tactical Advance to Battle (taktisk fremrykning til kamp), i stedet.

  1. ^ Chapter 21 The Bridgehead and Beyond: "There were two considerations. First, the distance between Stanley and San Carlos was some 56 miles and given the problems posed by the terrain it would take at least eight days to cover the ground. Movement would be 'under constant enemy fire from the air, in an area without cover, wood, drinking water or means of subsistence'. When his men arrived, worn out by the long trek, they would have to go into immediate action against an enemy well prepared and supported by field artillery." – Lawrence Freedman, Signals of War, The Falklands Conflict of 1982, 1990, Faber and Faber-London, ISBN 0-571-14116-1
