O knihe

Marines (from the English adjective marine, meaning of the sea, from Latin marinus ("maritime"), via French marin(e), of the sea) are military forces optimised for operations at sea. Historically the marine forces or marine corps are infantry forces that are part of the country's navy. However, in some countries the marine force or marine corps is under independent command. Tasks undertaken by marines have included providing security in a warship whilst 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. The Infantería de Marina, the Spanish Naval Infantry, is the oldest Marine Corps in the world, formed in 1537.Many other countries of the world were inspired by Spanish Navy Marines later, imitating even some features of Spanish Marines such as the red trouser stripes of the full-dress uniform in the 19th Century.
