The Royal Acrean Marine Corps is the expeditionary component of the Acrean Armed Forces. Established in 1888, the RAMC is the smallest branch of the Acrean military. Despite its classification as a naval infantry, the RAMC formally traces its descent to the Acrean Army rather than the Navy, and retains many of its traditions, structure, and organisation. Despite this, the RAMC maintains its own unique esprit de corps and culture.

Mission

A Royal Marine officer alongside local security in Lemobrogia.

The RAMC's primary task is conducting expeditionary land operations. To accomplish this, it possesses its own organic infantry, armour, artillery, special operations, and aviation, to include fixed-wing combat aircraft. Secondarily, the RAMC is used to support Army ground operations during conflicts.

History

Prior to the formal establishment of the RAMC, Acrean marines consisted of a few regiments of naval infantry under the Navy, and were employed for conducting coastal raids, conducting and defending against boarding actions, and establishing beachheads.

The RAMC was created in 1665 as an expeditionary force capable of defending Acrea's rapidly expanding overseas territories. The new addition of Lemobrogia as a protectorate to Acrea's colonial sphere of influence in Siduri necessitated a larger security force than that in neighbouring Erania, where Acrean troops were bolstered by a sizeable indigenous Eranian force. At the behest of the the Acrean Army's general staff, the Riksdag raised several regiments of naval infantry from the ranks of the Army to form the first "Corps of Marines". The force grew past the size of a single corps halfway through the 18th century, and was reorganised into its own independent branch in 1888.
