Marine Corps, United States The United States Marine Corps was established in Revolutionary times. Congress, in November, 1775, authorized the enlistment of two battalions of marines. After the adoption of the Constitution and the formation of the nation, the Marine Corps became a permanent arm of the service by the act of July 11, 1798, which established and organized a marine corps. Since then the Marine Corps has been liable, under the President's direction, to do duty in forts and garrisons of the United States, on the sea-coast, or any other duty on shore. The marines, when enlisted, are exempt from arrest for debt or contract. The corps has no regimental organization, but it may be formed into as many companies or detachments as the President may direct. The marines are at all times subject to the laws and regulations of the navy, except when detached by order of the President for service in the army, when they are subject to the rules prescribed for the army.

The marines are at all times subject to the laws and regulations of the navy, except when detached by order of the President for service in the army, when they are subject to the rules prescribed for the army. The position of the corps has risen in importance and respect, as it has greatly increased since the establishing of this part of the service. During the war with Spain in 1898 the officers and men of the corps greatly distinguished themselves in the initial land operations in the Santiago campaign, and also in the first movement of foreign forces on Chinese territory in 1900. In 1901 the official force consisted of one brigadier-general commandant, a general staff of ten officers, five colonels, five lieutenant-colonels, ten majors, fifty-nine captains, fifty-eight lieutenants and fifty-three second lieutenants. The total force comprised 211 officers and 6,000 men.
