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 Second Continental Congress would charter the United States Navy, on 13 October 1775, and create the United States Marine Corps on 10 November 1775. Today, both the Navy and the Marine Corps are separate military services subordinate to the Department of the Navy.
