The Royal Acrean Marine Corps is the elite expeditionary infantry corps of the Acrean Armed Forces. Despite its classification as a naval infantry, the RAMC is formally organised under the Acrean Army and shares its overall budget. The RAMC 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 Navy first established in 1775, and were employed as seaborne security and for conducting coastal raids. The RAMC 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 RAMC is responsible for conducting combined arms expeditionary and amphibious operations. Organised as an army in miniature, the RAMC possesses its own organic infantry, armour, artillery, special operations, and aviation forces which coordinate with naval sealift and air force assets in order to conduct its mission as an expeditionary and rapid deployment force. 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. 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. 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.
