The Royal Acrean Marine Corps 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 1905 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. Today, the corps is responsible for conducting combined arms expeditionary and amphibious operations. Organised almost as an army in miniature, the corps possesses its own organic infantry, armour, artillery, special operations, and rotary wing aviation forces. As the primary expeditionary land force of the Acrean military, it 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.
