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.

Mission

A Royal Marine patrols through a village in northern Lemobrogia.

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 RAMCE 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 such as security and anti-poaching operations in Lemobrogia. 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.

History

Doctrine

The Acrean Army 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, Uppdragsåtgärd, was first codified by Acrean General Ludvig Syrén in 1870. Uppdragsåtgärd emphasises five base tenets: 1. Tydlig avsikt (clear intent), 2. Skiktadkommando (layered command), 3. Hastighet och manøver (speed and maneuver), 4. Riktad åtgärd (targeted action), and 5. Försiktig aggressivitet (cautious aggression). The first tenet, Tydlig avsikt, 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, Skiktadkommando, is literally translated as "layered command". This 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 och manøver refers to the conduct of actions. It stipulates 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. Riktad åtgärd 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, Försiktig aggressivitet, 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.
