The '''Royal Acrean Marine Corps''' is the elite expeditionary infantry corps of the [[Acrean Armed Forces]]. Despite its classification as a naval infantry, the RAMC is formally organised under the [[Acrean Army]]. It was established in 1905 as a component of the army dedicated to littoral and amphibious operations, and combined both army regiments and existing naval infantry regiments. Prior to the formal establishment of the corps, Acrean marines consisted of several regiments of naval infantry under the [[Acrean Navy|Navy]] first established in 1775, and were employed as seaborne security and for conducting coastal raids. The RAMC is often considered the impetus for the development of combined joint operations between Acrea's various branches, well before the concept became a defined component of Acrean defence strategy and doctrine, as a result of the close cooperation between the army and navy needed to properly employ marines. The RAMC was reorganised into a separate command (''Marinejegerkommando'') with its own staff in 1950. Today, the RAMC is responsible for conducting combined arms expeditionary and amphibious operations. Organised as an army in miniature, the RAMC possesses its own organic infantry, armour, artillery, special operations, and aviation forces which coordinate with naval sealift and air force assets in order to conduct its mission as an expeditionary and rapid deployment force. As the primary expeditionary land force of the Acrean military, it is oriented towards being rapidly deployable by both air and sea; a seaborne marine regiment is capable of deploying a combined force including aircraft, armour, and logistics anywhere in [[Tyran]] within 72 hours, providing the Acrean military with the ability to rapidly respond to crises around the region without having to rely on existing Acrean military facilities. The RAMC is unique in possessing its own fixed-wing combat aircraft separate of the [[Royal Acrean Air Force|RAAF]]. In combination with its engineering and construction units, this allows combat aircraft to be deployed from temporary or ad hoc airfields such as highway strips. Secondary to its expeditionary and rapid deployment roles, the RAMC also serves to help bolster Acrea's land forces in the event of a major conflict, and has been deployed in force alongside the Army in every major conflict Acrea has been involved in.
The '''Royal Acrean Marine Corps''' is the expeditionary component of the [[Acrean Armed Forces]]. Established in 1888, the RAMC is the smallest branch of the Acrean military. Despite its classification as a naval infantry, the RAMC formally traces its descent to the [[Acrean Army]] rather than the [[Acrean Navy|Navy]], and retains many of its traditions, structure, and organisation. Despite this, the RAMC maintains its own unique ''esprit de corps'' and culture.
 
==Mission==
[[File:191002-M-EC058-1286R(1).jpg|thumb|left|300px|A Royal Marine officer alongside local security in Lemobrogia.]]
 
The RAMC's primary task is conducting expeditionary land operations. To accomplish this, it possesses its own organic infantry, armour, artillery, special operations, and aviation, to include fixed-wing combat aircraft. Secondarily, the RAMC is used to support Army ground operations during conflicts.
 
==History==
Prior to the formal establishment of the RAMC, Acrean marines consisted of a few regiments of naval infantry under the Navy, and were employed for conducting coastal raids, conducting and defending against boarding actions, and establishing beachheads.
 
The RAMC was created in 1665 as an expeditionary force capable of defending Acrea's rapidly expanding overseas territories. The new addition of [[Lemobrogia]] as a protectorate to Acrea's colonial sphere of influence in Siduri necessitated a larger security force than that in neighbouring [[Erania]], where Acrean troops were bolstered by a sizeable indigenous Eranian force. At the behest of the the Acrean Army's general staff, the Riksdag raised several regiments of naval infantry from the ranks of the Army to form the first "Corps of Marines". The force grew past the size of a single corps halfway through the 18th century, and was reorganised into its own independent branch in 1888.


==Doctrine==
==Doctrine==
The RAMC's doctrine is informed by its shared history and culture with the [[Acrean Army|Army]]. It bases its doctrine in martial traditions which emphasise discipline and decisive action, placing great importance upon the relative autonomy of tactical-level commanders to prosecute maneuvers in order to attain objectives how they best see fit, called mission-type-tactics. The Acrean form of mission-type tactics, ''Oppdragstaktikk'', was first codified by Acrean General [[Ludvig Syrén]] in 1870. ''Oppdragstaktikk'' emphasises five base tenets: 1. ''Klar hensikt'' (clear intent), 2. ''Lagdeltledelse'' (layered command), 3. ''Hastighet og manøver'' (speed and maneuver), 4. ''Målrettet handling'' (targeted action), and 5. ''Forsiktig aggresjon'' (cautious aggression). The first tenet, ''Klar hensikt'', states that subordinate commanders must clearly understand the intent of their orders, which must be given as succinctly as possible. This is to ensure that in conducting an order, that subordinate commanders can not only conduct it in the most effective way possible, but so they not proceed in such a way that their actions undermine the intent of an order, even if achieving the ostensible objective laid out. The second tenet, ''Lagdeltledelse'', references the necessity for subordinate commanders to be trained to think and act independently, as well as be able to perform at at least one level of command above their own. ''Hastighet og manøver'' refers to the conduct of actions. Syrén's writings stipulate that maneuver must be conducted "in a speedy fashion", in order to disrupt and overwhelm enemy's decision-making cycle, rendering them unable to respond in a cohesive and effective manner. ''Målrettet handling'' refers to focusing operations against identified critical points of the enemy's decision-making chain, whether it be by disrupting communication or destroying the assets necessary to carry out particular actions; the desired end result is to paralyse the enemy's ability to act. The last tenet, ''Forsiktig aggresjon'', refers to due diligence in the aggressive employment of forces typically practiced by Acrean commanders at both tactical and operational levels. The tenet  recognises that although aggressive, violent, and rapid action could provide a decisive action, the autonomy and flexibility available to tactical Acrean commanders means that decisions which are tactically sound in affecting the enemy may present vulnerabilities after the fact. One oft-cited example from the [[Great Eracuran War]] is Operation ''Kedja'', the invasion of [[Svinia]], during which an extremely effective and rapid Acrean armoured advance across eastern Svinia's open plains outpaced follow-up infantry and stretched Acrean lines along long, thin, vulnerable corridors. Attacks against the corridors resulted in several tactical Acrean defeats as rear troops were engaged by Svinian forces, and encirclement was only prevented by the inability of Svinian forces to mount a coordinated counterattack due to casualties and the lucky, timely arrival of follow-up Acrean infantry.

The Royal Acrean Marine Corps is the expeditionary component of the Acrean Armed Forces. Established in 1888, the RAMC is the smallest branch of the Acrean military. Despite its classification as a naval infantry, the RAMC formally traces its descent to the Acrean Army rather than the Navy, and retains many of its traditions, structure, and organisation. Despite this, the RAMC maintains its own unique esprit de corps and culture.

Mission

A Royal Marine officer alongside local security in Lemobrogia.

The RAMC's primary task is conducting expeditionary land operations. To accomplish this, it possesses its own organic infantry, armour, artillery, special operations, and aviation, to include fixed-wing combat aircraft. Secondarily, the RAMC is used to support Army ground operations during conflicts.

History

Prior to the formal establishment of the RAMC, Acrean marines consisted of a few regiments of naval infantry under the Navy, and were employed for conducting coastal raids, conducting and defending against boarding actions, and establishing beachheads.

The RAMC was created in 1665 as an expeditionary force capable of defending Acrea's rapidly expanding overseas territories. The new addition of Lemobrogia as a protectorate to Acrea's colonial sphere of influence in Siduri necessitated a larger security force than that in neighbouring Erania, where Acrean troops were bolstered by a sizeable indigenous Eranian force. At the behest of the the Acrean Army's general staff, the Riksdag raised several regiments of naval infantry from the ranks of the Army to form the first "Corps of Marines". The force grew past the size of a single corps halfway through the 18th century, and was reorganised into its own independent branch in 1888.
