On November 10, 1775, the Continental Congress meeting in Philadelphia passed a resolution stating that ‘two Battalions of Marines be raised’ for service as landing forces with the fleet. This resolution, established the Continental Marines and marked the birth date of the United States Marine Corps protecting American interests around the world.

During the two decades before World War II, the Marine Corps began to develop in earnest the doctrine, equipment, and organisation needed for amphibious warfare. The success of this effort was proven first on Guadalcanal, then on Bougainville, Tarawa, New Britain, Kwajalein, Eniwetok, Saipan, Guam, Tinian, Peleliu, Iwo Jima and Okinawa.
