The United States Marine Corps

"First founded nearly 250 years ago, the United States Marine Corps has fought for the United States of America in countless wars and remains a unique armed service in the world today. Throughout its legendary history, the Corps has acted as naval infantry, palace guard, colonial infantry, and even as a second land army, embracing these roles as Marines sought to preserve the institutional existence and integrity of their Corps. 

This history follows the Marine Corps from its humble beginnings as shipboard accoutrements on the tall ships of the Frigate Navy through to the challenges of the Cold War and then the War on Terror, proving the truth of the motto, Semper Fidelis, Always Faithful." - Casemate Publishers
