Anciently, marines are those security forces or troops of [[warrior]]s assigned to naval vessels of [[Naval warfare|maritime nations]]. More recently in history (17th through 21st century), marines are those military forces dedicated to both defense aboard ships and to amphibious combat operations abroad on land (for example, forces of the United States Marine Corps in the [[World War II#Far East|Pacific Theater of operations]] in [[World War II]], and the Mekong Delta during the [[Vietnam War]]). In WWII, ''Kriegsmarine'' was the German name for naval military personnel in general, and in particular, [[Karl Dönitz]]' submariners.
