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.
With the raising of two battalions by the Continental Congress, the United States Marine Corps came into existence on November 10th, 1775. Throughout its long history, the USMC has distinguished itself in part with distinct uniforms. The earliest Marine Corps uniforms were made from green broadcloth. Some accounts argue that green was used because Marines were rifleman, a practice used in European armies. However, the Marines of the late 1700's were not rifleman, but musketeers.
