| - Royal Marines, also known as Redcoats, were British soldiers who were used by the British Royal Navy. As their name indicates, they were trained for combat operations at both sea and land. The East India Trading Company employed many of these soldiers for the sake of protecting their goods.
- The Royal Marines are the naval infantry branch of the British Armed Forces, and are part of the Royal Navy.
- During the Second Mexican War, the Royal Marines staged a commando style raid on San Francisco. In addition to setting fire to what seemed like half the city, the Marines successfully robbed the US Mint during the confusion. During the Second Great War, when the islands of Bermuda where successfully retaken, the British garrisoned the island with Royal Marines. After the US won the Battle of the North Atlantic in 1943, the US Navy launched an amphibious assault against the islands garrison who fought to the bitter end.
- The Corps of Her Majesty's Royal Marines, commonly just referred to as the Royal Marines (RM), are the marine corps and amphibious infantry of the United Kingdom and, along with the Royal Navy and Royal Fleet Auxiliary, form the Naval Service. They are also the United Kingdom's specialists in amphibious warfare, including the operation of landing craft; mountain warfare; and Arctic warfare. A core component of the country's Rapid Deployment Force, the Corps's 3 Commando Brigade is capable of operating independently and is highly trained as a commando force. It is trained to deploy quickly and fight in any terrain. The Royal Marines have one of the longest basic infantry training courses in the world.
- The Royal Marines are the greatest fighting force on earth, so much so that each marine is an honorary King of England (hence Royal). They were invented by the British government in 1972 to help relieve the infamous "European Best-bitter lake" which resulted from the United Kingdom merging with France and Fiji to form the European Union. Inspired after watching the film "The Dirty Dozen", then Prime Minister Sir John Cleese decided to form an elite military unit based along similar lines to that featured in the film. Founding members of the Royal Marines include Sir Winston Churchill, Kris Kristofferson and surprisingly Wayne Newton.

- The Royal Marines are the greatest fighting force on earth, so much so that each marine is an honorary King of England (hence Royal). They were invented by the British government in 1972 to help relieve the infamous "European Best-bitter lake" which resulted from the United Kingdom merging with France and Fiji to form the European Union. Inspired after watching the film "The Dirty Dozen", then Prime Minister Sir John Cleese decided to form an elite military unit based along similar lines to that featured in the film. Founding members of the Royal Marines include Sir Winston Churchill, Kris Kristofferson and surprisingly Wayne Newton. Famously the toughest regiment of the British Royal Navy, the Royal Marines complete their grueling commando training in sunny Devon. The first 15 weeks of commando training are traditionally undertaken drunk, whereas the final 17 weeks are completed whilst hung-over. Once completed, the newly trained Marine is issued with his famous, coveted Green Beret. This is equivalent to a City and Guilds in Snurgling or a Grade 3 N.V.Q in advanced Ale hiding.
