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.
