The Infantería de Armada (Navy Infantry) was created by Charles V in 1537, when he permanently assigned the Compañías Viejas del Mar de Nápoles (Naples Sea Old Companies) to the Escuadras de Galeras del Mediterráneo (Mediterranean Galley Squadrons). But it was Philip II who established today's concept of a landing force. This was a pure naval power projection ashore by forces deployed from ships that could maintain their ability to fight despite being based on board. This is the period of the famous Tercios (literally "One Third", due to its organisation: one third of musketeers, one third of spearmen and the final third of pikemen): [1] [2]

[quote]The third oldest marine corps in the world was founded as the Terço of the Navy of the Crown of Portugal in 1618. The Portuguese Navy still maintains this naval infantry corps, which is currently known as the Corpo de Fuzileiros. The Portuguese Marine Corps consists of about 1500 men, including two naval infantry battalions, a naval police unit, a special operations unit and several support units (logistical, fire support, landing craft, etc.).

Renamed « Troupes d'Outre-Mer » then « Troupes de Marine » at the dismantling of the French Union (1958), origin is found however in the Compagnies Ordinaires de la Mer (French: Compagnies Ordinaires de la Mer) (Ordinary Sea Companies), created in 1622 by Cardinal Richelieu. These companies were destined to embark on royal naval ships to service the naval artillery and participate to the boarding of naval ships engaged in combats at sea. Simultaneously, these companies were also in charge in guarding the various sea ports. Despite the fact that the artillery of the marines was limited in numbers handling compared to those of infantry marines (fusiliers and grenadiers), the ship's marine artillerymen were the determining factor for the Troupes de la marine, being in charge of displacing and mounting the naval guns under the orders of the respective marine artillery officer in charge. In the 18th century, they constituted the Compagnies Franches de la Marine who mainly swarmed essentially in Nouvelle France ( particularity: these marines were recruited in Europe, with marine officers recruited then on the spot, out of an excellent milieu local).

The Royal Marines traces its origins back to 28 October 1664 when at the grounds of the Honourable Artillery Company "the Duke of York and Albany's maritime regiment of foot" was first formed.[4]

Each time I watch this beautiful video of the Russian SU-35 defying all the laws of physics before going to bed, I just can't help but weep for Nigeria.

58 years of independence, 58 years of failure!

In 2018, Nigeria is still operating ww2 era “F7 - fighter jets”. To add insult to injury, the bastards went to procure 1980 “Embraer Super Tucanos” that won't be delivered until 2020.

Why did I choose to be birthed in Nigeria instead of Iraq or Syria?

Atleast, I would have been fighting on the side of the Russians & yelling “Allahu Akubar” while decapitating Amerikan soldiers.

Prime reason is African easterly jet caused by interaction of warm air from Sahara desert and relatively cold air from gulf of Guinea and there is no solution becz that is part of the alrady fragile system that supports the life on earth , u mess with it u will pay million times over.

Best solution buckle up and cut down on carbon emissions [/b]and stop destroying forests etc

While any effort for destruction / creation of problems in nature is possible in shortest time there is no possibility of short time solutions to nature's problem , the solutions r very long term spanning decades and centuries.


Now u can ask USA to pay me

Russia holds its largest military exercise since the fall of Soviet Union.

“Russia started its largest military drills in decades, since 1981 - named "Vostok-2018". The war games comprise some 300'000 Russian soldiers and officers, 1'000+ warplanes, helicopters and drones, ~36'000 armour fighting vehicles, and 80 combat and support ships #Vostok2018”
