Marines, also known as a marine corps or naval infantry, are an infantry force that specializes in the support of naval and army operations at sea and on land, as well as the execution of their own operations.
Every Marine is first and foremost, a rifleman, but every Marine also has a specific job assignment in the Corps called a Military Occupational Specialty, or MOS. These specialties are assigned to individuals based on their personal preferences, their ASVAB scores, and most importantly, the needs of the Corps.
