The history of the Royal Marines began when a battalion of Seran soldiers boarded a Royal Navy vessel in 1723 and utilized rowboats to board a hostile vessel in the Jade Strait and capture it. After the capture, the Quadrumvirate established the Marines of the Union who specialized in ship boarding operations; particularly boardings in rough seas. As of 2021, the USSRM has around 70,957 active duty members and some 17,200 personnel in Reserve.

The formation of the Seran Royal Marines can be traced back to the late 18th century when the United States of Sera faced increasing threats from foreign powers and sought to establish a dedicated maritime force<ref>Smith, John.

On October 23rd, 1798, the Unified Sera Department of War officially sanctioned the creation of the Royal Marines, recognizing the need for a specialized force capable of defending the nation's interests both at home and abroad. Inspired by the esteemed traditions of the Marines of the Union of the previous regime, the Seran Royal Marines sought to emulate the principles of discipline, professionalism, and unwavering loyalty. The early years of the Royal Marines were marked by rigorous training and the cultivation of a distinctive culture that combined the best practices of naval warfare with the unique challenges posed by the Seran landscape.
 
During their formative years, the Royal Marines primarily focused on maritime defense and amphibious warfare. They were tasked with protecting Seran ports, conducting naval boardings, and providing security for naval vessels. As conflicts arose, the Royal Marines swiftly adapted to changing circumstances, proving their mettle in numerous engagements.
 
One notable event in their early history was what was known to Unified Sera as the Battle of Paragon Cove in 1835 during the [[Barretoan Wars]], where the Royal Marines successfully repelled an invasion force attempting to seize a strategically vital port. This resounding victory showcased the Royal Marines' effectiveness in defending the coastal territories and solidified their reputation as an elite fighting force<ref>Jenkins, Sarah.

It was during this war that the Royal Marines played a crucial role in amphibious assaults and trench warfare, demonstrating adaptability in the face of brutal combat conditions. They gained a reputation for their tenacity and resilience in battle, earning the respect of allies and adversaries alike. Following the war, the Royal Marines continued to evolve, adapting to the challenges of the modern era.

The United States Sera Royal Marines (USSRM), also referred to as the Royal Marine Corps, Royal Marines, and simply Marines, is the maritime land force, raiding, and expeditionary service branch of the Seran Armed Forces responsible for conducting expeditionary and amphibious operations through combined arms, implementing its own infantry, armor, artillery, aerial and special operations forces. The Royal Marines are part of the Department of the Royal Navy and operate under the guidance of the Department of War.

The Royal Marines have been part of the Department of the Royal Navy since October 23rd, 1798 with the reformation of the branch. The USSRM operates installations on land and aboard sea-going amphibious warfare ships around the world. Additionally, several of the Marines' tactical aviation squadrons, primarily Marine Fighter Attack squadrons, are also embedded in Navy carrier air wings and operate from the aircraft carriers.

The history of the Royal Marines began when a battalion of Seran soldiers boarded a Royal Navy vessel in 1723 and utilized rowboats to board a hostile vessel in the Jade Strait and capture it. After the capture, the Quadrumvirate established the Marines of the Union who specialized in ship boarding operations; particularly boardings in rough seas. As of 2021, the USSRM has around 70,957 active duty members and some 17,200 personnel in Reserve.

History

The formation of the Seran Royal Marines can be traced back to the late 18th century when the United States of Sera faced increasing threats from foreign powers and sought to establish a dedicated maritime force[1]. On October 23rd, 1798, the Unified Sera Department of War officially sanctioned the creation of the Royal Marines, recognizing the need for a specialized force capable of defending the nation's interests both at home and abroad. Inspired by the esteemed traditions of the Marines of the Union of the previous regime, the Seran Royal Marines sought to emulate the principles of discipline, professionalism, and unwavering loyalty. The early years of the Royal Marines were marked by rigorous training and the cultivation of a distinctive culture that combined the best practices of naval warfare with the unique challenges posed by the Seran landscape.

During their formative years, the Royal Marines primarily focused on maritime defense and amphibious warfare. They were tasked with protecting Seran ports, conducting naval boardings, and providing security for naval vessels. As conflicts arose, the Royal Marines swiftly adapted to changing circumstances, proving their mettle in numerous engagements.

One notable event in their early history was what was known to Unified Sera as the Battle of Paragon Cove in 1835 during the Barretoan Wars, where the Royal Marines successfully repelled an invasion force attempting to seize a strategically vital port. This resounding victory showcased the Royal Marines' effectiveness in defending the coastal territories and solidified their reputation as an elite fighting force[2]..

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the Royal Marines expanded their capabilities beyond maritime defense. With the advent of new technologies and evolving geopolitical landscapes, the Royal Marines embraced the challenges of modern warfare. They participated in expeditions and campaigns overseas, including the tumultuous conflicts during the Seran Secessionist War in the 1920s. It was during this war that the Royal Marines played a crucial role in amphibious assaults and trench warfare, demonstrating adaptability in the face of brutal combat conditions. They gained a reputation for their tenacity and resilience in battle, earning the respect of allies and adversaries alike. Following the war, the Royal Marines continued to evolve, adapting to the challenges of the modern era. They expanded their capabilities to include counterinsurgency operations, peacekeeping missions, and support for humanitarian efforts. Their expertise in maritime operations remained unparalleled in the Seran Armed Forces, and they became renowned for their proficiency in littoral warfare and coastal defense.

In recent times, the Royal Marines have faced new challenges posed by global terrorism and asymmetric warfare. They have honed their skills in urban warfare, counterterrorism operations, and specialized reconnaissance. Their ability to operate in diverse and hostile environments has made them an invaluable asset in the fight against emerging threats. Recognizing the need for a dedicated maritime force amid increasing threats, the Unified Sera Department of War officially sanctioned the creation of the Royal Marines on October 23rd, 1798[3].

Early Years and Maritime Defense

In their formative years, the Royal Marines focused on maritime defense and amphibious warfare, safeguarding Seran ports and conducting naval boardings[4].

One significant event in their early history was the Battle of Paragon Cove in 1835 during the Barretoan Wars. The Royal Marines successfully repelled an invasion force, showcasing their effectiveness in defending coastal territories[6].

Expansion into Modern Warfare

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the Royal Marines adapted to modern warfare, participating in overseas expeditions and campaigns, including the Seran Secessionist War in the 1920s[7]. Their role in amphibious assaults and trench warfare demonstrated their adaptability in brutal combat conditions[8].

Evolution in the Modern Era

Post-war, the Royal Marines continued to evolve, expanding their capabilities to include counterinsurgency, peacekeeping, and humanitarian operations. Their expertise in littoral warfare and coastal defense remained unparalleled within the Seran Armed Forces[9].

Challenges of the Contemporary Era

In recent times, the Royal Marines have confronted new challenges posed by global terrorism and asymmetric warfare. Their honed skills in urban warfare, counterterrorism operations, and specialized reconnaissance have made them an invaluable asset in the fight against emerging threats[10].
