This will probably amuse the vets who read me the most.

The Royal Marines charge ashore! I said charge! OK, slog then, Swim? Or they just laugh a bit as they get stuck!

I especially liked the guy who inflated his life preserver as if that might help . . . and from the video, it looks like only about 15' or so of actual silt. They probably thought, "Hey, it looks OK, we've already got people on shore, let's go look cool and stuff." Also, they didn't seem to take the exercise very seriously, but who does?
