The United States Marine Corps was created on November 10, 1775, when the Continental Congress resolved that âtwo Battalions of Marines be raisedâ to serve as landing forces and shipboard security for the recently organized navy fleet.
By World War II it had been generally accepted that the Marine Corps is not an integral part of the Navy, but is a part of the Naval Establishment, and that only the Secretary of the Navy as the Deputy of the President has authority to give direct orders to the Commandant of the Corps.
