WorldFrontlineMedia First Tribute towards the USMC -The Few The Proud The Marines Semper Fi

The United States Marine Corps (the Marine Corps or USMC) is a branch of the United States Armed Forces responsible for providing force projection from the sea,[3] using the mobility of the U.S. Navy to rapidly deliver combined-arms task forces. It is one of seven uniformed services of the U.S. In the civilian leadership structure of the United States military, the Marine Corps is a component of the Department of the Navy,[4][5] often working closely with U.S. naval forces for training, transportation and logistic purposes; however, in the military leadership structure the Marine Corps is a separate branch.

Captain Samuel Nicholas formed two battalions of Continental Marines on 10 November 1775 in Philadelphia as naval infantry.[7] Since then, the mission of Marine Corps has evolved with changing military doctrine and American foreign policy. The Marine Corps served in every American armed conflict and attained prominence in the 20th century when its theories and practices of amphibious warfare proved prescient and ultimately formed the cornerstone of the Pacific campaign of World War II.[8] By the mid-20th century, the Marine Corps had become the dominant theorist and practitioner of amphibious warfare.[9][10][11] Its ability to respond rapidly to regional crises gives it a strong role in the implementation and execution of American foreign policy.[12]

The United States Marine Corps includes 203,557 (as of June 30, 2009) active duty Marines[1] and just under 40,000 reserve Marines.[2] It is the smallest of the United States' armed forces in the Department of Defense (the United States Coast Guard is smaller, about one-fifth the size of the Marine Corps, but is under the Department of Homeland Security). The Marine Corps is nonetheless larger than the entire armed forces of many significant military powers; for example, it is larger than the active duty Israel Defense Forces or the whole of the British Army.[13][14]

The Marine Corps is highly cost-effective. The cost per Marine is $20,000 less than the cost of a serviceman from the other services, and the entire force can be used for both hybrid and major combat operations.[15]

  • Nice vid really appreciate someone taking time out to do this (don't think it was paid for by the Corps). But 1 small mistake (I believe) there are only 4 branches of the US military: Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force you mentioned 7. Just thought you might want to know. Again thanks for the tribute.

    "Throughout the American Revolution, the Marines served with distinction aboard the Continental vessels."

    "The House Naval Committee, under the chairmanship of Samuel Sewall, introduced a bill on 22 May 1798 calling for the establishment of a Marine Corps which would have the advantage of better discipline and economy. On 11 July 1798, President Adams signed the resulting legislation and the United States Marine Corps became an individual service within the Navy Department."
