==History==
Marines, also known as a marine corps or naval infantry, are infantry specialised in naval operations such as amphibious assault. In the majority of countries, the marine force is part of the navy, but it can also be under the army or independent command.
Historically, tasks undertaken by marines have included providing protection from war while at sea, reflecting the pressed nature of the ships' company and the risk of mutiny. Other tasks would include boarding of vessels during combat or capture of prize ships and providing manpower for raiding ashore in support of the naval objectives. Marine elements would also contribute to the campaign ashore, in support of the military objective.
Although some form of naval infantry has always existed in some form or the other ever since standing navies were established, it was not until the industrialisation of warfare in the Early Modern Era that marines corps began to become significant: with the advent of Western colonisation, the scale of landing operations increased; thus brought with it an increased likelihood of opposition and a need for co-ordination of various military elements. Thus far, the oldest marine infantry unit in existance is the  Portuguese Marine Corps or Fuzileiros who were raised specially for the task of amphibious warfare. Since then, marine forces evolved to specialise in the skills and capabilities required for amphibious warfare.
