During the times of war, when US Marines is at seas, it was subordinate to US Navy, and When US Marines is on lands, it is under US Army Command..

Thanks for the heads up. Wink

The Marines original Role was to Protect and Board Ships during the 19th Century... The British do have Marines too...The Royal Marines....

Maybe over the years they expanded the organization... Now its more of another fighting arm in their Armed Forces...

Fark sake...America got 5 fighting Arms in their Armed Forces... [/quote]

USCG falls under the Dept of Homeland Security. HOwever, in times of war can be drafted into the department of Navy also.

So does their National Guard under the Army... Most of the Infantry Divisions During WW2 in Normandy comes from the National Guard..

The National Guard origins are slightly different. They are essentially state-run militia. They are belong to their respective states. Their state can call up the national guard in times of emergency. IIRC their funding and training is also provided for by the state.

However, they are also Federal, and serves the nation in time of war.
