United States Marine Corps

The United States Marine Corps (USMC) is a branch of the United States armed forces responsible for providing force projection the sea, [2] with the mobility of the U.S. Navy groups to quickly deliver combined-arms task. It is one of the seven U.S. uniformed services. Administratively, Marine Corps is a component of the Department of the Navy, [3] [4] but it acts operationally as a separate branch of the military, often working in close collaboration with U.S. forces for naval training, transportation, logistics and purposes.

Originally organized as the Marines Continental on November 10, 1775, as Marines, the Marine Corps has become his mission with changing military doctrine and foreign policy U.S.. The Marine Corps has served in every American armed conflict and attained prominence in the 20th century when its theories and practice of amphibious warfare proved prophetic and ultimately formed the cornerstone of the Pacific campaign of World War II. [5] In the mid-20th century, the Marine Corps had become the dominant theorist and practitioner of amphibious warfare. [6] [7] [8] Its ability to respond rapidly to regional crises are attributed an important role in the implementation and execution of American foreign policy.

Television> http://www.himfr.com/buy-Television_Size/ "> TV SizeThe United States Marine Corps, with 194,000 active duty and 40,000 reserve Marines, [10] is the smallest of U.S. forces Armed with the Department of Defense (the United Kingdom States Coast Guard is smaller, about one-fifth the size of the Marine Corps, but serves under Homeland Security). The Corps is nonetheless larger than the entire armed forces of many significant military powers, for example, is larger than the active duty Israel Defense Forces or the whole British army.

The Marine Corps United States serves as an amphibious-ready force. "As indicated in 10 USC § 5063, and originally designed by the National Security Act of 1947, has three main areas of responsibility:

"The seizure or defense of advanced naval bases and other land operations to support naval campaigns;
The development of tactics, techniques and equipment used by amphibious landing forces, and
The other functions that the President may direct. "
This last clause, while seemingly redundant given the position of President and Commander in Chief, is a codification of the expeditionary duties of the Marine Corps. It derives from similar language in the Proceedings of Congress "for the better organization of the Marine Corps" of 1834, and "The establishment and organization of a Marine Corps" of 1798. In 1951, the House Armed 'Services Committee called the clause "one of the most important legal and traditional functions of the body Marines. "He noted that the Corps has more often than not performed actions of non-naval nature, including its famous actions in the War of 1812, in Tripoli Chapultepec, numerous counter-insurgency and labor rights (such as Central America), the First World War and the Korean War. While these actions are not described well as support of naval campaigns nor as amphibious warfare, their common denominator is that they are expeditionary nature, using the mobility of the Navy to provide timely intervention in foreign affairs on behalf of U.S. interests.

In addition to their primary duties, the Marine Corps has missions in direct support of the White House and State Department. The Marine Band, known as the "President Own" by Thomas Jefferson, provides music for functions the State in the White House. Marines guard presidential retreats, including Camp David, [14] and the Marine Corps Executive Flight Detachment of HMX-1 provide helicopter transport to the President and Vice President, using the call sign "Marine One" and "Marine Two" respectively. By the authority of the Law on Service Exterior of 1946, the security guards of the Navy Marine Embassy Security Command to ensure the safety of United States embassies, legations, consulates and over 110 posts worldwide.

At its founding, the Marine Corps was composed of infantry serving aboard naval vessels and was responsible for security the vessel and its crew by conducting offensive combat, defensive during boarding actions, and defense officials ship mutiny at the end the latter, their rooms on the ship were often strategically positioned between the officers' quarters and the rest of the boat. Continental Marines also were responsible for manning raiding parties, both at sea and ashore. U.S. first landing occurred early in the war amphibious assault revolutionary as the Marines took control of a British ammunition depot and naval port in New Providence, Bahamas. The role of Infantry Marina has expanded significantly, as the importance of its original naval mission declined with changing naval warfare doctrine and the professionalization of the Naval Service, the body to adapt by focusing on what were once secondary missions ashore. The Advanced Base doctrine codified early 20th century the land rights struggle, relying Marines in the seizure of bases and other rights to the land to support naval campaigns. The Marines also develop tactics and techniques of amphibious assault defended the costs in time for use in World War II. [16] Its original mission of providing security on board, finally ended in the 1990s, when the last Marine security detachments were withdrawn ships the U.S. Navy.

While the Marines do not use any combat arms only as a force that has the unique ability to rapidly deploy a task force combined arms to almost anywhere in the world in a matter of days. The basic structure for all deployed units is a Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) that integrates a ground combat element, an element of combat aircraft, and a logistics combat element combat component of an element of common control. While the creation of joint commands under the Goldwater-Nichols Act has improved coordination between different services between the U.S. military services, the body's ability to maintain a permanent working group composed of multi-element under a command only provides a smoother implementation of the principles of combined arms warfare. [5]

The tight integration of various marine units comes from an organizational culture focused on the infantry. All other Marine capacity exists to support the infantry. Unlike some Western military Corps remained conservative against theories proclaiming the ability of new weapons to win wars independently. For example, Marine Aviation always has been focused on close air support and has been greatly influenced by air power theories proclaiming that strategic bombing alone to win wars.

This approach corresponds to the infantry doctrine that "Every Marine is a shooter," a focus of Commandant Alfred M. Gray, Jr., emphasis on the skills of each fighter Marines. All enlisted Marines, regardless of military specialization, receive training as a rifleman, all staff receive training as infantry platoon commanders. [17] The value of this culture has been shown many times in history. For example, Wake Island, when all the Marine aircraft were shot down, pilots continued the fight as ground officers, what employees and supply in a kitchen final defensive effort. [18] As a result, a high degree of initiative and autonomy is expected of junior Marines, particularly the NCOs (corporals and sergeants) compared to many military organizations. The Marine Corps emphasizes authority and responsibility downward to a greater degree than the military. The execution flexibility takes place through an emphasis on "commander's intent" as a guiding principle for ordering, specify the final state but leaves open the method of execution [19].

The amphibious assault techniques developed for World War II evolved, with the addition air assault and the doctrine of maneuver warfare in the current maneuvers "operational from the sea" doctrine of power projection from the seas. [Two] The Marines are credited with the development of helicopter insertion doctrine and were the first in the U.S. military to widely adopt principles maneuver warfare, which emphasizes low-level initiative and flexible execution.

Marine Corps U.S. is based on the U.S. Navy for maritime transport to provide rapid deployment capabilities. In addition to basing a third of all Marine forces operating in Japan, Marine Expeditionary Units (MEU) are typically stationed at sea. This allows the ability to function as first responders to international incidents. U.S. Army now maintains light infantry units around the world capable of rapid deployment, but these units do not match the combined arms integration of a MAGTF, and lack of logistics offered by the Marina. [5] For this reason, the Marine Corps is often assigned to missions such as noncombatant evacuation of Americans from unstable countries and humanitarian relief for natural disasters. In larger conflicts, Marines act as an emergency measure, to take possession of an area to units larger can be mobilized. The body of performing this role in the First World War and the Korean War, where the Marines were the first significant combat units deployed United States and held the line until the country could mobilize for war.

The Marine Corps United States has its institutional roots the Continental Marines of the American Revolutionary War, formed at Tun Tavern in Philadelphia, by a resolution of the Second Continental Congress on November 10 1775 to raise two battalions of Marines. This date is regarded and celebrated as the date of the Marine "Corps" birthday. "At the end of the Revolution American in 1783, both the Continental Navy and Continental Marines were disbanded, and although individual Marines were enlisted for the few American naval vessels left, the institution itself would not be revived until 1798. In that year, in preparation for the naval war with France, Congress created the United States Marine Corps and Marine.

The action of the Marine Corps most famous of this period occurred during the Barbary War (1801-1805) against the pirates Barbary [22] when William Eaton and First Lieutenant Presley O'Bannon led seven Marines and 300 mercenaries in an effort to capture Tripoli. Although only reached Derna, the action at Tripoli has been immortalized in the Marine Hymn and the Mameluke sword carried by Marine officers.

During the War of 1812, Marine naval detachments took part in the great frigate duels that characterized the war, who were the first American victories in the conflict. His most significant contributions were delaying the British march on Washington, DC at the Battle of Bladensburg and holding the center of General Andrew Jackson's defensive line in the defense of New Orleans. At the end of the war, the Marines had acquired a reputation as expert marksmen, especially in the actions of ship to ship.

After the war, Marine Corps fell into a depression that culminated in the appointment of Archibald Henderson as its fifth commandant in 1820. Under his tenure, the Corps took on expeditionary responsibilities in the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, Key West, West Africa, the Falkland Islands, and Sumatra. Commandant Henderson is credited with thwarting attempts by the President Jackson to combine and integrate the Marine Corps in the Army. [23] Instead, Congress passed the Act for the better organization of the Marine Corps in 1834, which states that the Corps was part of the Department of the Navy as a sister service of the U.S. Navy [24]. This would be the first of many times that the existence Corps was challenged.

Commandant Henderson volunteered for the Marines serving in the Seminole Wars of 1835, personally leading nearly half of all the body (two battalions) to war. A decade later, in the Mexico-American War (1846-1848), the Marines made their famed assault on Chapultepec Palace in the city Mexico, later to be celebrated by the phrase "From the Halls of Montezuma" in Marines hymn. In the 1850s, the Marine Corps would see further service in Panama and Asia, escorting Matthew Perry's East India Squadron on its historic journey to the Far East.

With your service extensively in foreign commitments, the Marine Corps played a moderate role in the Civil War (1861-1865), his most important task was blockade duty. As more and more states seceded from the Union, about half of the Corps' officers also left the Union to join the Confederacy and form the Marine Corps states Confederates, which finally contributed to the war. The battalion of recruits formed for the first battle of Bull Run (First Manassas) performed poorly, retreating with the rest of the Union forces.

The rest of the 19th century was marked by declining strength and introspection about the mission of the Infantry Marine. The transition from U.S. Navy of the sail to steam put into question the need for Marines on naval ships. Meanwhile, Marines served as a convenient resource for interventions and landings to protect American lives and interests abroad. The Corps has participated in more than 28 statements separately in the 30 years since the end of the Civil War until the late 19th century. They were also urged to curb political unrest and work in the United States. [26] Under Commandant Jacob Zeilin tenure, Marine customs and traditions took shape: the Corps adopted the emblem of the Marines Nov. 19 1868. It was also during this time that "Marines Hymn" was heard first. Around 1883, the Marines adopted their current motto "Semper Fidelis "(Latin: always faithful).

John Philip Sousa, the musician and composer, enlisted as a Marine trainee at the age of 13 years, serving from 1867 to 1872, and again from 1880 to 1892 as the leader of the Marine Band.

During the Spanish-American War (1898), the Marines took to the earth the U.S. forces in the Philippines, Cuba and Puerto Rico, demonstrating its readiness for deployment. In Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the Marines seized a advanced naval base that remains in use today. Between 1899 and 1916, the Corps continued its record of participation in foreign expeditions, including the Philippine-American War, the Boxer Rebellion in China (1899-1901), Panama, Cuban pacification, the Perdicaris Incident in Morocco, Veracruz, Santo Domingo, and the banana wars in Haiti and Nicaragua, the experience gained in the fight against the insurgency and guerrilla operations during this period were consolidated into the Small Wars Manual.

During World War I veteran Marines served a central role in America's late entry into the conflict. Unlike the U.S. Army, Infantry Navy had a deep pool of officers and NCOs with combat experience, and experienced a relatively smaller expansion. Here, Marines clashed in the famous battle at Belleau Wood, creating the reputation of the Marines in modern history. While its previous expeditionary experiences had not won much acclaim in the Western world, the ferocity of the Marines and the resistance in France earned them the respect of the Germans, the soldiers of assault are quality. A Although Marines and American media reported that Germans had nicknamed Teufel sink as meaning "Devil Dogs," there evidence of this in German records (as Teufelshunde be the proper German phrase), was possibly American propaganda. However, the name was. [28] The Corps had entered the war with 511 officers and 13,214 enlisted personnel, and November 11, 1918 had reached a strength of 2,400 officers and men 70 000 [29].

Between the two world wars, the Marine Corps was headed by Commander John A. Lejeune, and under his leadership, the Corps presciently studied and developed amphibious techniques that would be of great use in World War II. Many officers, including Lt. Col. Earl Hancock "Pete" Ellis, foresaw in the Pacific war with Japan and had the preparation of such conflict. Through 1941, as the prospect of war grew, the Corps pushed urgently for joint amphibious exercises and amphibious equipment purchased would be very useful in the next conflict.

U.S. Marines on Iwo Jima raising the American flag.
In World War II, the Marines played a central role in the Pacific War. The battles of Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Cape Gloucester, Saipan, Peleliu, Iwo Jima and Okinawa saw fierce fighting between U.S. Marines Army and Imperial Japan.

Philip Johnston proposed the use of the Navajo language as a code to the body. The idea was accepted, and the Navajo code was formally developed and model of the Joint Army / Navy Phonetic Alphabet.

During the battle of Iwo Jima, photographer Joe Rosenthal took the famous photograph Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima of five Marines and a Navy corpsman raising the American flag on the mountain. Suribachi. Secretary of the Navy James Forrestal, who come to the beach that day, said the flag raising, "… the increase in that flag on Suribachi means a child Marine Corps the next five hundred years. "The acts of the Marines during the war was already significant popular reputation. Before the war ended, the Corps expanded from two to six brigades of divisions, five air wings, and supporting troops, totaling about 485,000 Marines. In addition, 20 defense battalions and a battalion paratroopers were set raised. [31] Nearly 87,000 Marines were casualties during World War II (including nearly 20,000 killed), and 82 received Medal of Honor. [32]

Despite Secretary Forrestal's prediction, the Corps faced an immediate institutional crisis following the war. General Army pushing for a strengthening and reorganization of the defense also attempted to fold the Marine mission and assets in the Navy and the Army. Drawing hasty Congressional support, the Marines rejected such efforts to dismantle the Corps, which is in the legal protection of the Marine Corps in the Act Homeland Security 1947 [33]. Soon after, in 1952 the Bill Douglas Commander Mansfield offered an equal footing with the Joint Staff on matters relating to Marines and established the structure of the three active divisions and air wings that remain today.

The Korean War (1950-1953) saw the hastily Provisional Marine Brigade holding the defensive line at the Pusan perimeter. To execute a flanking maneuver, General Douglas MacArthur called on Marine air and ground forces to make an amphibious landing at Inchon. The successful landing resulted in the collapse of North Korean lines and the pursuit of North Korean forces the north near the Yalu River to the entrance of the People's Republic of China in the war. Chinese troops surrounded, surprised and overwhelmed the overextended and outnumbered U.S. forces. X Corps, including the first Marine Division and Seventh Army Infantry Division, regrouped and inflicted heavy during their struggle for the withdrawal of the coast, now known as the Battle of Chosin Reservoir. Marines would continue a battle of attrition around the 38th parallel to the armistice 1953. [34] The Korean War saw the Corps to extend regular 75 000 261 000 a force of Marines, mostly reservists. 30 544 marines were killed or wounded during the war and 42 received the Medal of Honor. [35]

The Marine Corps was an important role in the Vietnam War, participating in battles such as Da Nang, Hue City and Khe Sahn. Individuals in the Marine Corps operates in the northern I Corps in South Vietnam. Once there, they were constantly engaged in a guerrilla war against the National Front for the Liberation of South Vietnam (NLF) and an intermittent conventional war against the North Vietnamese Army (NVA). Some Body Parts were responsible for the less-known Combined Action Program (CAP) that implemented unconventional techniques for counter-insurgency and worked as military advisors to the Republic of Vietnam Marine Corps. Marines withdrew in 1971 and returned briefly in 1975 to evacuate Saigon and a rescue attempt crew of the Mayaguez.

Vietnam was the longest war in the Marines, by its end,] 13 091 [37] [38 died in combat, 51,392 wounded, and 57 Medals of Honor were awarded. [39] [40] Due to policies concerning rotation, more Marines were deployed for service during the Vietnam World War II.

While recovering from Vietnam, the Corps hit a low point in its history to the detriment of services caused by courts-martial and punishment nonjudicial partially related to an increase of unauthorized absences and desertions during the war. Body Refurbishment began in late 1970, the performance Most offenders, and once the quality of new recruits improved, the Corps focused on reforming the NCO Corps, a vital part of their performance forces [5].

After Vietnam, the Marines resumed their expeditionary role, participating in the 1980 Iran hostage rescue attempt Operation Eagle Claw the invasion of Grenada (Operation Urgent Fury) and the invasion of Panama (Operation Just Cause). On October 23, 1983, the headquarters building in Beirut Marina, Lebanon, was bombed, causing further loss of time of peace for the Corps in its history (220 Marines and 21 other service members of the 24th Expeditionary Unit Marine killed) and leading to U.S. withdrawal from the country. The year 1990 saw Marines of Joint Task Force Sharp Edge save thousands of lives by evacuating the National British, French and Americans from the violence of civil war in Liberia. During the Persian Gulf War (1990-1991), Marine task forces formed the initial core Operation Desert Shield, while U.S. and Coalition troops mobilized, and later liberated Kuwait in Operation Desert Storm. [23] U.S. Marines participated in combat operations in Somalia (1992-1995) during operation Restore Hope, Restore Hope II, and United Shield provide humanitarian relief.

After September 11, 2001 against President George W. Bush announced a war against terrorism. The stated aim of the war global terrorism is "the defeat of Al-Qaeda, other terrorist groups and any nation that supports or harbors terrorists [43]. Since then, the Corps Marina, along with other military and federal agencies, has engaged in global operations around the world in support of this mission.

Marines and other U.S. forces began staging in Uzbekistan in Pakistan and the Afghan border since October 2001, in preparation for Operation Freedom Enduring. [44] The 15th and 26th Marine Expeditionary Units were the first conventional forces in Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom in November 2001, and in December, the Marines seized Kandahar International Airport. [45] Since then Marine battalions and squadrons have been rotating through, with the participation of the Taliban and Al-Qaeda forces.

In 2002, the Combined Joint Task Force – Horn of Africa (CJTF-HOA) was stood up in the Camp Lemonier to ensure regional security. [46] Despite the transfer of overall command of U.S. Navy in 2006, Marines have continued to operate in the Horn Africa in 2007.

More recently, the Marines have served prominently in the Iraq war. The I Marine Expeditionary Force, along with 3rd Division Army Infantry, led the invasion of Iraq in 2003 [48].
