The Royal Acrean Marine Corps is the expeditionary corps of the Acrean Armed Forces. Despite its classification as a naval infantry, the RAMC formally traces its descent to the Acrean Army. Prior to the formal establishment of the Corps, Acrean marines consisted of a few regiments of naval infantry under the Navy, and were employed for conducting coastal raids and establishing beachheads. The RAMC was first established in 1665, as an expeditionary force capable of defending Acrea's rapidly expanding overseas responsibilities. The new addition of Lemobrogia as a protectorate to Acrea's colonial sphere of influence in Siduri meant that defending its vast territory was now Acrea's responsibility. Though there were already some troops in Auroa complimenting the territorial regiments, their numbers were far too few. Under orders from the Crown, the Acrean Army's general staff raised several regiments of naval infantry in cooperation with the Navy to form the first "Corps of Marines". The force grew past the size of a single corps by the late 18th century, and was reorganised into its own independent branch in 1862.

The RAMC is responsible for conducting expeditionary and amphibious operations. It possesses its own organic infantry, armour, artillery, special operations, and aviation forces which coordinate with navy assets in order to conduct their mission. The RAMC 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 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. The RAMC's expeditionary missions mean that it's the force most frequently deployed on overseas operations, and are responsible for continuous overseas operations involving Acrea's former territories. 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.
