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.
The US Marine Corps was officially established in 1794, but it prefers to date its beginning to 1775 with the establishment of the Continental Marines, just as the US prefers to date its beginning with the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 rather that the signing of the US Constitution in 1787.
