The Royal Acrean Marine Corps (Acrean Nordic: Marinejegerkorps), is the elite naval infantry corps of the Acrean Armed Forces. Despite its classification as a naval infantry, the corps is formally organised under the Acrean Army. The corps was established in 1904 as a component of the army dedicated to littoral and amphibious operations, and combined both army regiments and existing naval infantry regiments. Prior to the formal establishment of the corps, Acrean marines consisted of several regiments of naval infantry under the Acrean Navy first established in 1775, and were employed as seaborne security and for conducting coastal raids. The corps is often considered the impetus for the development of combined joint operations between Acrea's various branches, well before the concept became a defined component of Acrean defence strategy and doctrine, as a result of the close cooperation between the army and navy needed to properly employ marines.
