Marine

Marines compose a branch of a country's navy, often designated a corps rather than a service. Marines are naval infantry, specialising in fighting on ships and conducting amphibious assaults[?].

Note that some countries do not differentiate branches of their armed forces, as Israeli Defense Forces[?], Canadian Armed Forces[?].
