The Regiment Marines Commando is an amphibious light infantry force, a component of the Meridonian Navy and one of its fighting arms. It consists of 28,642 active duty marines and 6,204 reservists as of 2022. It operates a small number of helicopters independently of the Navy.
The Regiment was first formed as the Corps of Marine Infantry in 1740, shortly after a need was identified for the formal equipping and training of marine forces aboard Navy vessels. First commanded by the now-famous Colonel Maxwell Hardings, the Corps became infamous for the fanatical spirit of its Marines and the impeccable combat prowess they delivered in both maritime skirmishes and ashore combat. While recruiting from less reputable sources than other branches and regularly conducting the highly irregular process of raising officers from the ranks, a brutal training regime, high discipline, and exceptional foundational leadership established the Corps as a formidable fighting force. This tradition was retained well into the Second World War, with the Regiment emerging from the war as a dedicated and specialized elite light infantry force.
The Regiment has remained a fully volunteer, professional fighting force since its inception, another difference from both the Army and Navy, who regularly utilized conscription to meet their numbers. The Regiment is considered a special operations force, and is one of few such forces in the world that will directly recruit civilians to its ranks. It is world-renowned for its nearly year long basic training course, the longest basic training in the world. The Marines rely heavily on support in many non-combat areas from the Army, Navy, and Air Force, including aviation, medical, cyberwarfare and other such specialties.

The Regiment is oriented and organized around being a rapidly-deployable quick reaction force. It operates in two Marine Amphibious Regiments [MAR]s, each composed of two Marine Amphibious Units [MAU]s that are typically the standard strength deployed Marine formation. Each MAU consists of a reinforced infantry battalion, a tilt-rotor aircraft squadron supplemented with support utility and attack helicopters, and a combat support battalion. The Marine Special Forces Group (MSFG) is organized under the HQRMC, but reports organizationally to the Naval Special Forces Group (NSFG) and from there to the Meridon Joint Special Operations Command.
