The Themiclesian Marine Corps is the naval infantry branch of the Themiclesian Navy. They claim to be founded in 1318, but there are reasons not to assign this date. Their duties include ship boarding and landing operations, and they also participate in many humanitarian operations. Their strength is 12,520 active and reserved altogether.
Mission
- Land operations in support of naval operations.
Structure
Regiments
The Marines consist of 29 statutory regiments stood up with Parliamentary approval, each one being dedicated to one or more specializations, such as air and land conveyance, medicine, police, administration, infantry, cooking, baking, etc. Units in them are withdrawn to form operational battalions capable of discharging a mission of a certain scope and persist in the field for a set duration. During training, regiments of the same specialization tend to co-operate with each other, and the same is also true of regimental balls and meals. Veteran support groups are also organized on a regimental basis.
Operational units
- 409th Mechanized Battalion
- 502nd Mechanized Battalion
- 507th Mountaineers Battalion

Uniforms
As in the case of the Consolidated Army, all regiments of the Marines may also specify their own uniform regulations. As of 2021, all dress uniforms have been withdrawn, and regimental events may be attended with either civilian clothing or military undress. Officers lieutenant-colonel rank and above retain the Frock Coat for daytime dress occasions and the Full Dress for those in the evening; these are restricted to those involving heads of state and government, such as State Openings and Prorogations of Parliament.
