What is a long-distance loaded march in the United Kingdom's Corps of Royal Marines called?

'Yomp' is Royal Marines slang describing a long-distance loaded march carrying full kit. It was popularized in 1982 during the Falklands war, which was a 10-week undeclared war between Argentina and the United Kingdom over two British dependent territories in the South Atlantic. The result of the war was British victory. Heading into Stanley (capital of the Falkland Islands) on June 1982, the ''Yomper'' was an iconic image of the Falkland War. After disembarking from ships at San Carlos on East Falkland on 21 May 1982, Royal Marines and members of the Parachute Regiment ''yomped'' with their equipment across the islands, covering 56 miles (90 km) in three days carrying 80-pound (36 kg) loads. They were supposed to be transported by helicopters, but after Atlantic Conveyer (British merchant navy ship), which carried the helicopters, was sunk by Argentine Exocet missiles on 25 May, the soldiers had to march on land.

Virgin Games, Inc. published a computer game called 'Yomp' (1983) shortly after Falkland conflict. In Charlie Higson's novel 'The Dead' (2010): ''I grew up in the country, you see always out 'yomping' 'round the fields''. In Robert Westalls novel Urn Burial (1987): ''if they'd feet as lonely as this, 'yomping' to Port Stanley....''. The 'Yomp' is a daytime trek held in the Dartmoor National Park in the County Devon, England.
