Why are they called Marines if they got nothing to do with water?

They're a branch of the Navy and they have amphibious as well as ground units.

They're a corp of the navy, dumbass.

You're retarded.

Because they enjoy water sports

Because they are gay fish

You get the idea, laddie, other replies are just ass blast

What's the point of having ground units when you have an army, doesn't that make them redundant?

Stfu GAYDF cuck what do aussies know about military structure

Little known fact, the airforce have an equivalent corps known as the aviators

chain of command, better operational integration?

marines are held in prisonlike conditions on navy ships until they are needed for amphib assault or they suicide. movement on naval ships is tightly restricted by compartment. marines have no duties so are confined to one small compartment with 50 other marines.

They are the Navy's foot soldiers. They come from the water to kill the jew's enemies. Marines eat crayons and kill babies for Israel. Don't fuck with The Corp, don't fuck with kikes, and die when you're told. Oprah! Is what they say. All got some fat nigger bitch fetish I guess.

The Marines are specifically focused on being able to deploy quickly, on short notice, in any theater of operation. The Army by contrast needs to set up a huge cumbersome logistical operation to move troops en masse, and probably needs to coordinate with the Navy and / or Air Force to actually deploy them in theater; the Marines are supposed to be able to do it all themselves

The army is for occupation and the Marines are for raiding. Or that's how it was supposed to be. Doctrine started getting real muddy around 2007.

They're just an army unit that specialises in amphibious landings and ship-to-ship assaults, so it makes sense to make them part of the navy.

But they both use different uniforms, vehicles and ROE can you imagine what kind of logistical nightmare that creates

>and they have amphibious as well as ground units.
So does the Army.

You know why marines are the first to go in? Most invasions typically with a naval force closing in on the coast of a nation, that's why you have marines.

>Why are they called Marines if they got nothing to do with water?
Because "Israel Defence Forces" was already taken.

Fucking based & kek

>probably needs to coordinate with the Navy and / or Air Force to actually deploy them in theater; the Marines are supposed to be able to do it all themselves
Everyone literally does the same job what's the point of being able to do it 5 seconds faster?
Why can't they just be provided the same training to do the same tasks?
Nobody really knows what they are lets be honest
Whats stopping you from using army soldiers on the boats instead?

They're trying to go back to being the expeditionary force they once were. The kikes called on all branches of the military to die for them in the middle east.

also space marines

>he Marines are supposed to be able to do it all themselves
Marines are for taking other ships once you close to boarding distance or for taking over costal forts while they wait for army troop transports to come man the garrisons. Marines were not sailors that had just enough training to be helpful on a ship but trained for a highly specialized form of combat.
>The Marines are specifically focused on being able to deploy quickly, on short notice, in any theater of operation.
That's just a bunch of fucking nonsense made up by asshats that didn't want to give up a budget so they roll creeped into a larger forces.

Did you know that all main branches of the US military (Fuck off coast guard you are not the military) have duplicate equipment and abilities of all the other branches? Each of the Army, Navy (+ Marines) and Airforce has group troops, aircraft and ships. Just roll them into one unified command called the US Military and be done with the redundancy, in fighting and element pissing matches.

amerikaner dont make sense they call a sport football when they throw an egg shaped object with the hands 99% of the time

>Everyone literally does the same job what's the point of being able to do it 5 seconds faster?
The increased flexibility and responsiveness can be very useful

The US Marines are facing a massive roll change. Taking away their tanks, artillery and aircraft. Not sure how that's rolling out but it was the plan a few years ago.

Enough to know you are civvie scum that could double as collateral damage

Historically it was units attached to the navy and expeditionary forces.

I mean, it's a bit of an absurd, but imagine if aircrafts operating out USNavy carriers were to be commanded by the Air Force.
If to comes to different uniforms, well, their Navy. Different vehicles I dunno about, but I guess they would employ more amphibious designs than conventional Army?

They do have something to do with water. They originated as amphibious assault units. I think the tradition of having marines outdates the United States itself. The thing is we have like 10 Army divisions and 2 whole marine core divisions. So 1 Marine for every 5 Army personnel, which is clearly way more than necessary. The result is that the Marine core is used similarly to the army, but it has a cooler name and history which is used to attract American high schoolers with 950 SAT scores to enlist.

Green berets are CIA they deliberately go to destabilize regions so that America and Israel can prop them up again, Rangers were meant to provide security for Delta Force in Black Hawk Down look how well that turned out
